Summary

One of the most controversial figures in the crypto world is none other than Richard Heart. A former guest on this show, we found him to be quite likeable and knowledgeable. And yet the question remains, is the HEX token he created a scam? His community of followers, who call themselves Hexicans, would certainly say no. Others are more skeptical.

Film-maker Tom Gillespie has gone down the HEX rabbit hole to learn more about Richard and his community in a new four-part documentary series called Hexicans and the Time Value of Money.

We’ve got Tom with us today to discuss his previous film, this new documentary and other stuff. And maybe some things.

If you love Hex and are south of the border, that makes you a Mexican Hexican. Welcome amigos to episode #661 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
