Crypto detractors have always said you can’t do anything with crypto other than speculate.  They have clearly never visited New Hampshire, Townsville, or El Salvador. There are places today where you could live entirely off crypto and we dive into 3 in this video. Having an alternative money to government fiat is no longer a pipe dream, it’s a reality. It’s just a matter of time before people real...

What is AT&T doing at 1111340002? That is what SIM expert David Allen Burgess asked when he found secret records of phone activity that the user had no idea about.  Welcome to the magical world of proactive SIMs - SIM cards that send data off your phone without you or your phone's operating system knowing.  There is no public documentation about these messages, there's no way to see...

We all want to protect our computers from Malware: things like computer viruses, spyware, and ransomware. Advertisements will tell you that having extra antivirus software installed on your computer is the best solution, but a lot of people don't realize that most computers these days already have antivirus protection built in.  Also, is 3rd party antivirus software really all that it is crac...

Where is the best place in the world for crypto? This could mean multiple things: - Where can you find good crypto regulation and taxes? - Where is the best place to spend your crypto, and use it day-to-day? Over the next few videos we’ll dive into a bunch of places that have at one time claimed to be the “best for crypto”, and see how they actually fare today. 00:00 Intro 01:00 European Union 02:...

"Ultimately the only real solution ... is to stop using platforms and start using protocols, things like Ghost and Odysee and places like that. There is no CEO that you can sufficiently pressure into deplatforming somebody. It just technologically can't be done because of how decentralized blockchain is." That is what Glenn Greenwald said in an interview with me this week, but he al...

Is mining at home profitable? That depends on which coins you’re mining, the hashing difficulty of the network, the equipment you’re using, and the price of electricity where you’re mining. I'll teach you what you need to know to get started with mining and make your setup more profitable.  For an intro to what Mining is, watch “How Mining Works” https://youtu.be/Nn6TWD5pCoA 00:00 Intro 00:38...

(Note: graphene only works on Pixel phones, if you have a non pixel phone you can instal lineage, but it’s a more complicated process) Google is all over our phones. The amount of data that they’re collecting about us is astronomical, regardless of whether we’re using an iPhone or an Android. But why does it matter if Google knows so much about us?  First, that data is being siphoned up by governm...

If you want more privacy on the internet, the operating system you choose plays a crucial role. We’ve all heard of Windows and Mac, but the “Tails” operating system puts privacy first. Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, and Laura Poitras swear by it. Tails aims to “do the right thing” right out of the box by default, to protect less tech-savvy users from the most likely and highest impact risks to their pr...

Does someone have remote access to your phone? Can they access your cameras without you knowing, and see everything you do on the device? How would you know if they could? There are hundreds of spyware apps that can be used to spy or track people without their knowledge. It's often called "Stalkerware". Sometimes these apps are targeted towards nervous parents who want to keep tabs...

VPNs are often considered an essential part of your toolkit if you want to live a modern, privacy-conscious lifestyle... but most computer security experts will tell you that they’re not tools for privacy AT ALL! When you use a consumer VPN, the VPN company is able to see everything you’re doing. Many log and even sell all of your data.  And even if they promise not to, it’s difficult to verify. B...

Charles Hoskinson is best known as the creator of Cardano, a top 4 cryptocurrency that has been comfortably in the top 10 for a while now. But before that, he was a co-founder of Ethereum, he was part of BitShares with Dan Larimer, and he was the creator of the Bitcoin Education Project. Back in 2014, long before Ethereum had even launched, I first met and interviewed Charles, at a conference in T...

Credit cards are a notoriously insecure means of payment and credit card fraud is one of the most common types of identity theft in the US. We give out our credit card number constantly without even thinking about it, and with it our name and home address.  Enter Virtual Credit Cards: they're like a VPN for your credit card. No more revealing private information to every stranger from whom yo...

In this digital realm there are lots of scammers who will try to pick your digital pockets, so you need to learn to be street smart.  Here are some BIG scams to watch out for, which I have either seen personally or have had close friends fall victim to. As a general rule, never give out your private information, passwords or account numbers out to anyone who calls you unannounced - no matter who t...

More and more people are waking up to why financial privacy is so important, and just how invasive the traditional banking system is. Many cryptocurrencies, even though they give you back control over your money, are actually pretty bad for privacy, and can expose your full transaction history and holdings to everyone. That’s where Privacy coins come in. This is the first of many videos exploring...

Did you know that when you share a photo online, you might be revealing the exact location of your home? Or that when you print a document, there are hidden dots on the page that reveal the exact printer the document came from? Metadata is data about data. It's attached to EVERY digital artifact, and when you share a digital file, you're probably revealing a lot more information than int...

Search engines completely revolutionized how we access the web. If you want to find a website, you can type in keywords and search engines will show you a list of websites that match your criteria.   But your searches can reveal a lot of private information about you: your interests, location, medical conditions, political affiliation.  Google has 90% of the market share for searches, and they tra...

Now that you've gotten into crypto, what do you DO with your crypto?  Many people are building their savings in cryptocurrencies that can't be debased, in preparation for potential future economic upheaval. But there are some who argue that this day of upheaval is already here: - We have a financial system where you have to ask permission to use your own money, and payments can be blocke...

Snowden once tweeted: "I wouldn't use WiFi at home, because global maps of every wireless access point's unique ID—including yours—are free and constantly updated. I would use ethernet; yes, ethernet on a phone." A while ago I made a video that explained why you should never turn your phone into a hotspot, and why wifi is less secure than a wired ethernet connection. It was sho...

Social media dominates our lives, and we willingly spend hours of our time engaging on these platforms FOR FREE. But what if we could actually make money doing this? Scott C Cunningham joins me to review some excellent alternatives to mainstream platforms that actually PAY YOU in cryptocurrency for doing literally the same things you are probably already doing. Earning crypto is one of the best wa...
