Today's conversation is with Josef Marc. Josef is the CEO and co-founder of Publica. Publica is probably one of my favourite blockchain concepts (am planning to try it out soon!). That is because it includes all the areas of my interests all in one place: writing and self publishing, blockchain, ICOs, crypto and reading. How cool is that? In this episode we speak about Josef's journey and the Publica platform. You will get the details of what is it and how it works and why should you try it out whether you are an author or simply love reading books.

Love for Crypto

Back story Initially, this was a Facebook live that I did in summer 2017. This is my conversation with Eric Vance Walton. Eric is a fiction author. Like many authors he was happy to when Amazon came along with its Kindle Direct Publishing program and he took the self-publishing route. At first Eric's biggest best social media was Facebook where he had set up his author page. Then, as it always happens Facebook decided to change its algorithm yet again and as a result Eric was forced to pay $20 for each post on the page so those who had liked the page would be able to see it. Eventually, he discovered Steemit and it became his primary social media platform. Eric moved part of his Facebook audience to Steemit and that help him jumpstart his Steemit journey. Eric feels that on Steemit the engagement is better and people care about each other. For him it took 2 months to gain traction and get noticed there. Eric used Steemit as a method of crowdfunding his book. Basically, post payouts paid for the book production. work really hard at building your audience first On understanding crypto The easiest way to understand was to make transactions. Learn the mechanics of getting a bitcoin wallet and signing up for an exchange. Once you do couple transactions it becomes as easy as breathing. Most people don’t believe it’s real until they convert it into fiat currency - then it all sinks in. You will learn how much freedom crypto provides. On growing your audience on Steemit Just create good content and engage with other users. Leave thoughtful comments. Play to your strengths. Don’t make your post too long - max 1200 words.   Mentioned in the episode Mastering Bitcoin - the book explains blockchain and crypto and how it works   My interview with Andrew Levine from Steemit And last but not least To join our discussions and share your views - make sure you become part of our telegram community by clicking here!   Want to become a guest or feature your ICO?

Crypto Musings

Join our discussions and share your views - make sure you become part of the Crypto Talks telegram community! Today I talk to Zero Sum's co-founder and CEO Lawrence D. Richardson II. Lawrence started out with Bitcoin building a miner back in 2012. He has traded precious metals at a T1 Bank in NYC.  Now he is involved full time at Zero Sum. So what is a Zero Sum? ZeroSum was born out of the belief that there are great traders out there. We just need to find them. It is a ground breaking blockchain technology platform that empowers individuals to demonstrate their skills in a competitive format against their peers. It is a place where traders can compete against their peers and not professionals, therefore creates a fair competitive environment. The platform allows individuals to create and participate in competitions that require a measurable skill in a given subject matter. Users enter with a defined entry fee and if victorious against their peers win prizes immediately. Initially created to isolate trading skill in trading competitions the platform and technology base are extensible in order to support any desired peer versus peer competition event.

Newbie Stupid Crypto Mistakes

 Steemit is probably the easiest way to earn crypto without investing money or mining it. That is why, although this interview with Andrew Levine, who is from Steemit was recorded half a year ago, I think it is very relevant to Crypto Talks and  it's a platform that you need to know about! To join our discussions and share your views - make sure you become part of our telegram community by clicking here! What is Steemit? It's a combination of Reddit and Medium. Steemit is a content sharing platform and it helps its users to monetize their content. And the guess what? It's free to use! But there's even more... The social network is itself is built into blockchain. But you don't have to understand any of that complex stuff in order to start posting. How Many People Are Using Steemit? Steemit has between 50-100k daily active users. But it is not a question of how many people are using it. It's more about the value of users. The value of average social media user is zero, which is not the case for Steemit user (it's obviously more than zero) What About Followers? If you create high quality content then you will get high quality followers. So make sure you focus on quality! It doesn't so much matter how many people upvote you as much as who the upvotes come from! How to Make Sure People on Steemit See Your Content? Engage and interact with the users. Comment on their posts. Look for people whose content you find valuable. Create genuine relationship, instead of asking for upvotes and follows. Don't be the douchebag who spams! (this one was my bonus idea) Can You Repurpose Your Existing Content? The short answer is yes. You can use what you have already created. But if you cater it to Steemit audience it will do even better! (so don't be a lazy ass!) How Do I Make Money? The points you earn are cryptocurrency tokens that have value on the market. You can exchange Steem for Bitcoin and then exchange that into real money. (you can use www.coinbase.com for that) Steemit rewards people who invest the most in the platform, especially the content creators. 3 Ways of Making Money on Steemit Create content Comment on content Curate content Niche Down or go Broad? Being broad can be rewarding. You do not need to stick to a narrow niche in order to succeed on the platform. So... How to Start? 1. Sign up (waiting period is  24-48 hours) 2. Chat with other Steemians at www.steemit.chat 3. Start engaging on the platforms (comment!) 4. Look for good content that is your cup of tea 5. Start paying attention to formatting (photos, headings, short to the point paragraphs, well organized content will do better) And Remember! It is possible to quickly raise through the ranks... It IS possible but it ISN'T easy!

What the Hell is Steemit?

Today I talk to Gary Leland. He is the founder of Podcast Movement, the co-host of the Crypto Cousins podcast and someone, who like me is fascinated by the crypto world.

Crypto Talks meets Crypto Cousins

Many people ask me "how do you manage to get all those known guests on your show?". The thing is - there is no one generic answer. Each guest has his own back story of how we connected. In this case, it's been a completely cold call. I asked a friend who's been into crypto since a long time who he follows and who are credible and reputable names that I should interview. My friend gave me 5 names. Jake Burkhard was among them. The first thing I did was look for common friends so I could be introduced... None were found. So I simply went on Twitter and tweeted my pitch publicly to Jake... and he said yes within 10 minutes. No wonder my friend was impressed ) and was I. So today my guest is the co-founder of Coinfund Jake Brukhman. Coinfund is one of the first crypto funds founded in 2015. Jake has a background in maths and computer science, has worked in hedge fund and Amazon. His journey down the rabbit hole started from the moment when his very geeky friend sent him 0.5 BTC. The journey eventually brought him to founding Coinfund - born from the idea of creating and diversifying portfolio of digital assets. In this interview we discuss: which personality types do best in crypto what's so exciting about blockchain the risk appetites and biases of crypto holders where and how to learn about blockchain and crypto online and....
