In the beginning, there was Bitcoin, one chain to rule them all, until more chains started popping up.

Ethereum, Binance, SmartChain, Solana, Cardano, just to name a few.

We see a future where cross-chain interoperability is a regular thing.

And we're not alone. Sergei Gobernov was on the founding team at Algorand, and today is the

co-founder of Axelar, a decentralized network and tools that connect users' assets and

DApps across multiple blockchain ecosystems. So, like the pretenders, we're back on the chain

gang, U-A. For episode number 550, of the Bad Crypto Podcast.

And welcome to the Bad Crypto Podcast, the show for the crypto-curious, the crypto-serious,

and those who are crypto sports ballists, because as we're recording this, it is Sunday.

Sports Ball Day, Travis has some game on in the background, and we're having to record now,

because the chiefs are playing tonight. That's true. That is true news. And folks,

this is episode number 550. Like, that seems to be a momentous episode number to me.

It just seems like a couple of fives there and a zero. Anytime you hit the 50 of wands, pretty good.

Yeah, I mean, it's kind of, it's milestone-ish. It's not big milestone, but it's like milestone-ish.

What did we do for 500? Because we were going to have John McAfee on, but then he was in J.O.

And then, unfortunately, he passed away. And John McAfee did not kill himself, just just going

to go with that. You know, at some point, when it is tasteful to do so, we would love to invite

Janice on the show. It is not, it's too soon and not yet tasteful to do so, but in the future,

we'd love to speak with her and get her thoughts on all of that.

I tell you what, I got this new thing for my standing desk, Joel. It is a, it's like a balance board

deal. And I got it with this company called, I think, stance or fluid or fluid stance or

something like that. And I got a nice little, a place that a metal thing that I can write on.
