Sweatcoin - Pay To Move's Silent Success

Amun Tokens — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 09:00:00 +0800

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we are joined by Oleg Fomenko, one of the co-founders of Sweatcoin and the Sweat economy. An app with over 120 million users encouraging people to get out there and build up a sweat.

Welcome to the one hundred and thirteenth episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on October 31st 2022. Today we dive into the silent success story of the pay-to-move movement. Oleg explains how they are building a health and sustainable future for everyone.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.

Topics Covered Today:

Oleg, I think most people are familiar with Sweatcoin given all the media exposure you have received in the last year. What I would like for you to explain to our audience is what is the difference between Sweat and sweatcoin?

On the subject of differences, what about Stepn? Are you competing for the same users? Why do you think you both have gained so much traction?

Why do you think you onboarded so many users so fast? How do you plan to onboard the next 100 million users?

I want to bring this up early so we can get it out of the way. There have been questions about sustainability. How do you address those? Your litepaper shows that it will be increasingly difficult to earn SWEAT as time goes on. Won’t that disincentivize users?

Why did you partner with NEAR as opposed to other blockchains?

How does the inactivity fee work? Is it automatically deducted from your wallet? Is it charged? Are users okay with that?

On the roadmap, it says that you are moving to a DAO next year? How is that going to work? Will you be able to react fast enough to market changes in this structure?

Lastly, what is the most exciting thing if you had to choose one about sweatcoin and your future plans?

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we are joined by Andrew Beal , former Blockchain Strategy Lead at EY, currently ecosystem lead at Forta Network.

Welcome to the one hundred and ninth episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on October 24th 2022. Today we dive into all things security, why so many hacks have happened, what are some of the best practices and possible solutions for the future.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.

Andrew, let’s start of with this. Why are so many hacks happening in the crypto ecosystem? Will crypto ever stabilize in terms of hacks?

What are some ways protocols can prevent hacks? What about end users?

What are some of the threats that end users should be aware of?

You used to work at EY which is a hugely famous organization, what do you think is the current state of crypto adoption amongst such organizations? Why did EY start to explore blockchain?

You are now with Forta Network? Why did you make the switch? What are they doing differently from other security organizations?

I saw this on your LinkedIn: “~50% of smart contracts exploited in the last 4 years had emergency pause functionality. Only 1 was actually paused w/in first hour after exploit. “ Why do you think that is so?

What do you expect from web3 security in the next 5 years?

Forta’s doing so much already, what exciting developments can we expect next year?

Topics Covered Today:

Rex, I have to ask. Kongregate is such a popular platform. How did you get them onboard with an NFT game given the mixed views in the public space?

How do you plan to onboard people into this game given some of the issues with people getting into crypto?

Your launching on ImmutableX? Why did you make this choice as opposed to other possible protocols?

I’d love for you to tell our viewers and listeners what Blood Vessels is about? How did you come up with?

There are quite a few NFT games at the moment? What are you trying to do differently?

The art looks amazing. Very period appropriate. Where did the inspiration for the style come from?

One of the tag lines on your twitter is “An immersive world shaped by you”. What do you mean by that? How do we shape the world?

What’s coming before the end of this year and what should we expect for next year?

If this goes well, should we expect kongregate to release more NFT games?

Tell me about the price peg dashboard ?

What should someone take away after looking at this?

Why does USDC have so much volume but fewer users?

Why do stable coin deviations happen? Should people be concerned?

Tell me about the DEX volume dashboard?

What’s the most interesting thing about this dashboard?

The Unbanked, Fiat and Empowerment

Amun Tokens — Fri, 07 Oct 2022 00:15:00 +0800

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with Chris McGregor, the CEO of Vesto.io. Vesto is the turnkey blockchain solution for businesses to safely scale into the future of digital assets.

Welcome to the one hundred and third episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on September 16th 2022. Today we dive into payments, remittances and how one company is paving the way for how companies interact with their customers.

I also would like to thank my employer Amun Tokens for making podcasts like this happen. Please don’t forget to check us out and our products at tokens.amun.com.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.

Topics Covered Today:

Before we dive into the nitty gritty of today’s topics Chris, why don’t you give our audience a high level overview of of what Vesto is about?

On your site you mention the benefits of crypto for not just people but organizations, what are some of the benefits you’d like our audience to know about?

When preparing for the show, I read a statistic from CNBC, 75% of retailers are preparing to accept crypto in two years? Do you think that is true? Is Vesto going to help with this?

You mention the unbanked and underbanked on your platform, how do you hope to solve this problem? Are you currently operating in the U.S or globally? How does KYC work in that instance?

One of the things I like about Vesto is the quick conversion between crypto and fiat. How is that achieved? Here in Taiwan, it’s easy to convert but I still have to wait at least 3 days before funds get into my bank account.

I’ve seen the word empowerment in a lot of crypto company websites, how are companies doing this in general? How is Vesto doing it?

The levels that the crypto market have dropped to, have been brutal on many companies, how are you coping? What’s your strategy for the future?

What’s something you want to end of today’s show on? What should people anticipate from Vesto in the next 1 year?

Questions Covered Today:

I’m sorry but I have to get this question out of the way.Anatoly was on Real Vision a few Friday’s ago and said the network outages have been a curse. You all run different projects. Were you affected at all and if so how? (https://cointelegraph.com/news/network-outages-have-been-solana-s-curse-says-co-founder)
Solana’s been the only network to push aggressively into mobile? Are you preparing for that? (https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/06/more-reasons-to-be-bullish-on-solana/)
We’ve seen adoption occur at a crazy fast pace in 2021. It’s still happening this year. What do you expect to catalyze adoption of your individual protocols in 2023? (https://twitter.com/FireblocksHQ/status/1564977622873882628?s=20&t=BLJiTOMAdPSewoJV9nJL1Q)
Binance recently made a big play by stopping to support USDC. With all the competition on Solana, do you worry about a centralized entity disrupting what you are trying to do? (https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/09/05/binance-to-convert-users-usdc-usdp-tusd-into-its-own-stablecoin-busd/)
Coindesk had an excellent article the other week. Let’s remind the audience that this is not financial advice but what might restart the bull market? (https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/09/06/what-might-restart-the-crypto-bull-market-bernstein-has-ideas/)
Ethereum paved the way for crypto as we know it today. Solana’s co-founder said he expected upside post-merge for Solana and their related projects. Have you felt like this has materialized and why not? https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2022/09/13/solana-co-founder-sees-upside-from-ethereums-merge-saga-web-3-mobile/

How does esports play into this? This would be different from the typical esports or is there an actual game where we can watch people compete?

You had an event at NFT NYC, how did that go?

Where do you see Simwin going in the future? How do you expect to overcome some of the skepticism and aversion to NFTs? Are you aiming for this to be a niche market?

I think most of our audience understands tokenization but what about for people not in crypto? How is that going to affect their lives?

We know some protocols have really fast transaction speeds like Solana or Polygon. But at the same time, there are also issues there. How is the industry going to bring these speeds to regular people?

When the market came down, we once more heard the calls for regulations to protect consumers? In what form do you see these occurring?

Much of the Northern Hemisphere has been under heat warnings for the better part of a month. How does crypto aid in sustainability of our society?

One of the things I saw you talk about is the equitable growth of the world economy? Is it possible to make it fairer? How does crypto aid this?

We haven’t yet talked about it but is there anything exciting going on at TDefi that you’d like to share with our audience?

What's your prediction for the next 6 to 12 months in the industry?

Proof of Work, Flux Mining and The Cloud

Amun Tokens — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 00:15:00 +0800

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with Chris Hitchen,the founder of Mineeezi and host of the EEEZICrypto podcast. He’s doing so many things that we could do a week of shows about them, but today we are going to focus on Flux

Welcome to the seventy-ninth episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on July 7th 2022. Today we dive into all things Flux, from its function in the current mining ecosystem to what might happen after the Ethereum merge.

I also would like to thank my employer Amun Tokens for making podcasts like this happen. Please don’t forget to check us out and our products at tokens.amun.com.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.

Topics Covered Today:

I’ve talked about Ethereum mining many times on this podcast and have mentioned Flux in passing but for our listeners/viewers, why don’t you tell us what Flux is?

Why did you decide to mine this over Ethereum?

What’s the use case for Flux? Is it sustainable from an income generation standpoint given how fast technology changes?

Give your experience in the Flux ecosystem, what do you think the team is doing right and what are they doing wrong?

Is it still possible for regular people to get involved with Flux mining at the moment? Do you suggest it?

We talked about this when I was on your podcast. You build your own Flux machines? How did that come about?

The “merge” is supposed to happen at some point this year. Do you expect some of the current portion of ETH miners to migrate to flux? (Flux is not really high up the list on whattomine.com)

The macroeconomic climate is not looking great for crypto and miners. Last week (6/28), lots of media organizations picked up the story that BTC miners are selling as opposed to hodling. How is this economic climate affecting your business?

The Collapse and Rebirth of Terra with Tom Wan (Research Analyst)

Amun Tokens — Tue, 14 Jun 2022 00:15:00 +0800

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with Tom Yin, one of the newest research analysts at 21Shares. He recently published an fascinating article about the collapse and rebirth of Terra. We are going to explore the article and ask some follow up questions that many of you have been asking.

Welcome to the seventy-second episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on June 14th 2022. Today we dive into all things Terra, from the crash of LUNAC to the launch of the new chain LUNA. We go through some of the recent rumors and reflect on what is to come in the future.

I also would like to thank my employer Amun Tokens for making podcasts like this happen. Please don’t forget to check us out and our products at tokens.amun.com.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.

Topics Covered Today:

Before we dive into the guts of today’s story, why don’t you give our listeners and viewers some background on Terra, LUNA, USTC and LUNAC

Why do you think everything happened the way it did?

Do you believe the rumors that this whole situation was premeditated?

So Terra has a new chain without UST. What are the prospects for this chain?

What about LUNAC, does it have a place in the current market?

If you had to look into the future. Do you think both of these ecosystem can exist peacefully? Are we going to be in a ETH and ETC situation?

What are the lessons to learned from:

The retail consumer

The institution

Lots of crypto personalities said what Terraform Labs did wasn’t bad. It was a good to learn that we aren’t in a place for an algorithmic stablecoin just yet. Do you agree with that?

So Tom, before we end today's show. I thought we might want to discuss some of the latest information that has come to light with regards to Terra. Some of it is just speculation at this point but I wanted to get your take on it.

Terra employees reportedly confirmed to the SEC that Do Kwon cashed out $80 million a month prior to the $LUNA and $UST crash.

Terraform Labs has been accused of owning shadow wallets

South Korea, Singapore and India are investigating Terraform labs

Do you expect these investigations to yield any results?

Blockchain Development, Security and Scalability

Amun Tokens — Fri, 10 Jun 2022 00:15:00 +0800

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our approachable podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with Archie Chaudhury, the founder of Adamnite. Adamnite is a layer-1 blockchain development platform that enables developers to easily build efficient and secure decentralized applications.

Welcome to the seventy-first episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on June 10th 2022. Today we dive into all things enterprise, we learn more about Adamnite and their hope for the crypto space. This and much more on today’s episode.

I also would like to thank my employer Amun Tokens for making podcasts like this happen. Please don’t forget to check us out and our products at tokens.amun.com.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.

Topics Covered Today:

So Archie, we’ve got to start off with what is Adamnite? Why did you decide to make your blockchain instead of building on top of one of the other popular chains? Where did the name come from?

One of the things you mentioned on your site is your goal is to make blockchain more accessible? Do you believe it is not at the moment? How do you plan to make it more accessible?

Why do you need significant financial backing for developing large scale apps? How does Adamnite solve this issue?

What are you working on at the moment? What do you see as Adamnite’s biggest use case in the future? What are your current road blocks?

I was wondering if we could talk about the automatic verification engine. Smart contract hacks have been a huge issue in 2021. Will this eliminate the issue?

I think it is undeniable that we are in a bear market or maybe have been for a while. Has the pace of building slowed down?

What advice do you have for your fellow developers or people just getting into the space?

What should our audience be looking forward to when it comes to Adamnite for 2022?

SenX on Tulip Protocol, Solana and Auto-Compounding Strategies

Amun Tokens — Thu, 05 May 2022 00:15:00 +0800

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our approachable podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with a very knowledgeable guest, Senx. He is the co-founder of Tulip Protocol on Solana. You should have heard of them but in case you haven’t, they are a yield aggregation platform built on Solana with auto-compounding strategies for vaults.

Welcome to the sixtieth episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on May 5th 2022. Today we dive into all things Tulip from where they are now to where they are going in the future. These and many more questions on today’s show.

I also would like to thank my employer Amun Tokens for making podcasts like this happen. Please don’t forget to check us out and our products at tokens.amun.com.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.

Topics Covered Today:

So Senx, you’ve pretty much explained what Tulip is on the last episode but for those who didn’t listen or were not here, what’s a 60 second overview?

About 5 months later, what is new? How have things changed at Tulip?

Solana recently had an outage this past weekend? It’s not the first time, how do you handle these kinds of issues from a community perspective?

For someone relatively new to Solana, what’s the fastest way for them to start using Tulip?

Your tagline on Twitter is Solana’s aggregation homestead and it definitely looks that way when you visit your site, there are other competitors in the space, what are you doing to differentiate yourself?

I saw that you recently retweeted an Amulet post, are you thinking of taking them up on their insurance offerings? Why?

Looking at things going on under the hood now, I saw that “Instant Tulip unstaking was defeated a few times before it passed, what do you think that is”?

We are almost at the half way point for 2022. Have you done what you wanted to? What are Tulip’s plans for the rest of the year?

Given the state of the market, any words of advice for people who just got into crypto?

DefiKai on Bribe Wars, Curve and Stable Coins

Amun Tokens — Tue, 03 May 2022 00:15:00 +0800

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our fascinating podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with a very unique guest, DefiKai. He is the creator of the deficryptovaults newsletter and website. The best place to get the latest crypto vault news.

Welcome to the fifty-ninth episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on May 1st 2022. Today we talk about bribe wars, Curve and the stable coin wars. These and many more questions on today’s show.

I also would like to thank my employer Amun Tokens for making podcasts like this happen. Please don’t forget to check us out and our products at tokens.amun.com.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.

Topics Covered Today:

So DefiKai, one of the first things you wanted to talk about was gauge voting or bribe wars. What does that entail? I’ve heard about bribing in crypto with regards to Curve but not about gauge voting…

The second thing you wanted to talk about was Curve/Convex, in what context?

I love how you’ve phrased our third topic of the day. Stable coin wars. Are there wars going on. As a crypto normie. I know Tether is number 1 by far on binance, that being said I know USDC keeps raking in the funding. We also just interviewed UXD protocol which aims to become the number 1 stable coin on Solana. What’s your take here?

Lots of things have been going on in the FTM ecosystem. With the departure of Andre Cronje, the price hasn’t been great. Social sentiment also hasn’t been there. What do you see happening?

Solana seems to be doing well. That being said, in my personal experience, there are still network issues. Those are probably growing pains but looking at the ecosystem, they are still behind ETH in terms of TVL

We’ve got to talk about vaults of course since you put out your newsletter which is so well organized. Why do you think what you are doing is so important and is drawing people in?

Do you expect the newsletter to remain the same or do you want to add more information in the future?

What is the best way for people to utilize the information you send out each week?

On the site, it explains that you are censorship resistant, how does that work?

You're collateralized by 88.3% Solana, is there any reason for that?

Who have you partnered with? The website mentions a few names like Anatoly, have you met them? Why did you choose these people to work with?

How does UXP work, it is your governance token, has there been anything to vote on yet?

Torab on Marinade, The Solana Community and Capital Efficiency

Amun Tokens — Wed, 13 Apr 2022 00:15:00 +0800

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our fascinating podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with a very special guest, Torab. He is the Head of Partnerships at Marinade Finance.

Welcome to the fifty-third episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on April 13th 2022. You’ve all heard of Marinade from our SOLI podcast well today we have them on the show. We talk about community governance, NFTs, and why it’s never too late to get into crypto.

Before we get started, I would like to thank my employer Amun Tokens for making podcasts like this happen. Please don’t forget to check us out and our products at tokens.amun.com.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.

Topics Covered Today:

So Torab, a lot of people in the Amun community are aware of Marinade because it’s the first thing I talk about whenever I do our Solana news segment. But for those who are new, do you want to give us a quick take on what Marinade is?

One of the first things that people will notice when heading to the site is the art and the colors. Why did you go with this aesthetic?

Everyone knows Lido on Ethereum, is the goal of Marinade to become the next “Lido”?

I messaged a few community members over the weekend to ask for their questions. One of the biggest questions I got was what to do with their mSOL… Do you have any suggestions or maybe a place to gather that information?

I love that you have the Marinade DAO. How can people get involved?

Looking into your Discord, you seem very community centric. Is there a reason for that? You’ve run a lot of events and it’s only April 2022. How do you think you can get the community more involved?

One of the biggest things to happen recently is of course the launch of your NFTs. You’ve gone in an interesting direction there. Why did you decide to launch NFTs? Do you also want to explain to people how to get them?

In your most recent March update, you mentioned one of the most recent challenges is decentralization. Why is that so important? Where do you hope to go in 2022?

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our fascinating podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry.

So Jason, let’s start of the interview with something interesting. An NBC poll released late last week shows that 1 in 5 US adults has invested in crypto… why do you think that is?

Bring it back, what prompted you to get into crypto? What was that first crypto memory?

What were some of the mistakes you made getting into the space?

What’s your favorite crypto protocol at the moment? What are you using most often?

How do you think we should bring more people into crypto?

What are some tips you would give people getting into crypto?

Lastly I was looking at your twitter this morning my time. Those Sekira NFTs look sweet and the price is pretty decent.

What are your thoughts on NFTs?

Why did you purchase this one? Do you intend to flip it?

Lots of projects talk about utility? Do you think that is realistic?

What’s an entry level strategy for people getting into NFTs?

John Lester on Oneiro, Ndau and Forging NFTs

Amun Tokens — Fri, 01 Apr 2022 00:15:00 +0800

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our fascinating podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with the COO of a crypto company called Oneiro. They are the developers of ndau, the world’s first adaptive cryptocurrency. Stay tuned to fully understand what that is all about.

Welcome to the fiftieth episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on March 24th 2022. John comes from a varied background and we touch on ndau as well as NFTs, their NFT forge, bitcoin, polygon and way too many topics to list in the show notes. This is a must listen and I really mean it!

Before we get started, I would like to thank my employer Amun Tokens for making podcasts like this happen. Please don’t forget to check us out and our products at tokens.amun.com.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.

Topics Covered Today:

So John, and you can correct me if I am wrong, we should start with Oneiro right? What is it? Maybe give us a timeline of ndau and Oneiro

I saw on your LinkedIn that you used to work with RavenCoin. For miners like myself, they are the second choice after Ethereum. Why did you switch to Ndau after RavenCoin?

Now let’s talk about Ndau. I like the idea of a digital adaptive cryptocurrency? How does it work?

Ndau also discourages speculation? Isn’t that a bad thing? Isn’t that how money is really made in crypto?

So let’s move onto the broader crypto market as a whole. With everything going on geopolitically what do you see happening in 2022?

So ndau is a proof of stake currency. But as we talked about before, RVN is a proof of work cryptocurrency. Do you think POW is going to disappear?

What do you think regular people should be doing with their money? Is crypto safe for them? How do we get more people into crypto?

Lastly as much as I hate to bring it up every week, we have to talk about NFTs? What’s your take on them, are they good for the crypto space?

The Gotchiverse, Lending and NFT Gaming - Jesse (COO of Aavegotchi)

Amun Tokens — Fri, 25 Mar 2022 00:15:00 +0800

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our fascinating podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with a very special guest, Jesse Johnson. He is the Co-founder, COO and Summoner of Aavegotchi

Welcome to the forty-eighth episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on March 24th 2022. We talk about a ton of things today and this is a podcast not to be missed.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.

Topics Covered Today:

So Jesse, a lot of people in the Amun community are aware of Aavegotchi as I mentioned earlier but why don’t you give us the official explanation of what Aavegotchi is

How did the idea come about? What about the aesthetic? Why pixel art and not something more modern?

Now this is a personal question from me. We have quite a few crypto gaming enthusiasts amongst the Amun community who are always looking for new games to play just like any gamer. How can we get started with Aavegotchi?

I remember when I covered the different chapters of the Gaming bible. I thought it’s a wonderful idea because so many games lack adequate documentation. What’s next for this piece of content?

You’ve also recently launched Gotchi Lending. I covered this on our most recent Amun PECO podcast but I was wondering how does this differentiate itself from Axii scholarships?

So the Gotchiverse is launching on March 31st. What is it and how is this different from the current state of Aavegotchi?

You put up a medium article two days ago talking about the impending launch. You mention the idea of a “playdrop”. I love the idea of that. Do you want to explain what it is?

What’s next for the Gotchiverse. You don’t have to give away anything. What should people be looking forward to? What’s the year ahead look like?

Amun's Two Layer 1 BlockChain Index Proposals

Amun Tokens — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 00:30:00 +0800

Blockchains — long heralded as the next chapter of the internet — has come to life over the past two years. The emergence of decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and play-to-earn gaming has created over a $100 billion of on-chain economic activity. Crypto is no longer a bet on the future — the future is already here. For investors, the questions are: how large is this opportunity and what is the easiest way to get exposure?

Equity investors can gain easy access to the stock market through ETFs. ETFs provide easy, low cost, and diversified exposure to investment themes such as retail, tech, and healthcare. An investor with no financial expertise can buy an S&P 500 ETF and know that it will dependably track the performance of the US stock market over decades.

Crypto investors today have no such option. A few years ago, owning Bitcoin and Ethereum was sufficient. But with the explosion of new blockchains, real economic activity on these chains, and vibrant cross chain traffic, simply holding the two largest coins is no longer a sure thing. For investors seeking broad exposure to crypto, there’s a stronger need than ever for a product that provides diversified exposure across all credible blockchain protocols.

To address this need, Amun aims to bring to market two index token products that bring ETF simplicity to crypto investing.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe and ask all those burning questions you’re dying to ask.

Topics Covered Today:

So Sang, you proposed the idea of NFT Gaming. Do you want to tell our audience what NFTs are before we dive into the gaming part?

What makes NFT gaming so interesting? I asked this to Ryan last week? Why do you think so many gamers are against NFT gaming?

Are you playing any NFT games at the moment? If so, what are they and why? If not, what games would you like to play? What is so appealing about them?

We’ve had quite a few news articles drop about NFTs this past week? CNET has an interesting article. Towards the end, they say more than half of game developers are interested in NFTs. Do you think developers will just bulldoze past player’s wishes?

What does the future hold for NFT gaming? A previous guest just tweeted this past Sunday. Despite the dip in the market. NFTs are still holding their value? Does that bode well for the market?

You also mentioned talking about Web3 Infrastructure plays. We’ve talked about it in previous episodes. What’s your take on that?

Do you expect ETH to flip BTC this year? What do you expect to happen with these two dominant coins in crypto?

Do you think more people will get into Defi? I know a fair number of crypto holders in their late thirties and forties. Defi is too scary… What do you expect?

The FCA in the UK has taken quite a hardline stance when it’s come to crypto. Along with the Bank of England. Do you see that changing? Is that related to the more “conservative” government you have now? Would the liberals be better?

What do you think about institutions? Are they going to get more involved this year? Despite regulatory scrutiny?

We have to mention NFTs… What do you expect to happen there? NFTs so far have been limited to really cool pictures… do you expect them to broaden into other areas?

What do you see happening with Solana, Avalanche, Polkadot etc…

Are they finally going to catch up to Ethereum in usability/ecosystem adoption? Does that matter?

Crypto Monetizing Content ft. Aureal

Hello fellow DMX, DFI and PECO holders. It’s Crian and I am back with another fantastic podcast. Today we are joined by a special guest.

What if there was a better way to monetize your content. A way that didn’t involve waiting till you reach some arbitrary numbers setup by YouTube, Twitch or Facebook. Well today we have a solution… Listen in to find out...

Don't Let Them Take Your Crypto

Amun Tokens — Fri, 29 Oct 2021 09:00:00 +0800

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show where we meet real people in crypto. People who are involved with some of the hottest projects out there and regular people just like yourselves. We want to hear your stories, so if you are interested in being on the show. Don’t forget to contact us through social media or email me directly. Welcome to the sixteenth episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on October 27th 2021.

A quick note listeners. Amun has launched our new token PECO also known as the Polygon Ecosystem Index. Please do check that out at tokens.amun.com. It covers the top projects in the Polygon ecosystem and is a good way to get exposure to all the projects in a single token.

Today we are joined by Ryan Beals, a licensed CPA from Texas. He fills us in on what people in the U.S can do to save some money on their crypto-related- taxes before tax season in February of 2022. Crypto has been all over the news so there is no escaping it. If you do have crypto in your portfolio and you live in America then this is the episode for you.

Some of the Questions Asked Today:

So you talked about when you heard about crypto, what do you think of the state of crypto regulation in the U.S?

First of all, the IRS uses virtual currencies on their site. Are virtual currencies and crypto the same thing?

So if any of our listeners do have crypto in their portfolios, how should they go about reporting to the IRS?

What do they need to report? What they hold? Transactions? What happens if they have been reporting in previous years?

What is the best way to reduce your tax liability when it comes to crypto? Does it vary by state?

What about products in Defi where you earn triple digit apy’s in some cases. Do you have to report the interest there?

I’ll be linking this in the shownotes. Do you think the IRS’ guidelines on virtual currencies suffice: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/frequently-asked-questions-on-virtual-currency-transactions

I think this is all pretty hard to understand?

Do most CPA’s have knowledge about this kind of stuff or should someone look for someone like you to help them out?

How do you see regulation changing in the future? How would you like it to change?
