Jared Moskowitz and Zeke Faux: Scams Galore

Definitely. I mean, the crypto guys are very good at making it seem like they have a lot of jargon. They make it seem like there's some sort of really complicated and important technology that we're talking about. And it makes you think in the back of your mind, if you don't know that much about this, or even if you do, you're like, it can't possibly be as dumb as it sounds, could it?

So the original idea for Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, was that this would be a alternative to regular currencies like the dollar or the yen. And the big innovation was that instead of being tracked by a central counterparty like a bank, there would be this decentralized network of computers that would keep track of this new currency. Now, that was 15 years ago.
