I'm doing a podcast with some friends that's a more round-table podcast than Ledger Cast. I hope you'll check it out at Tulips.fm. It's also about all markets, not just crypto. But we certainly talk about crypto too.

Welcome to Ledger Cast, hosted by me, Brian Krogsgard (@ledgerstatus on twitter), and in this episode I'm joined by special guest Tor Bair -- a long time cryptocurrency investor, and Head of Growth and Marketing at Enigma. We touch on Enigma in this episode but we spend more time discussing how to look for projects with good fundamentals more broadly.

Welcome to Ledger Cast, hosted by me, Brian Krogsgard (@ledgerstatus on twitter), and in this episode I'm joined by two special guests, Dan Gunsberg and Rob Levy -- two of the co-founders of Hxro, a gamified crypto trading platform. You can subscribe to new episodes of Ledger Cast on iTunes, on Google Play, on Stitcher, on YouTube and via RSS. The information in this podcast should not be construed as investment advice, it is purely educational material and you should always do your own research before buying. When I first came upon Hxro, I was skeptical of what gamified trading meant. Then I tried it, and I've been hooked. It's like if you blend DFS or poker into cryptocurrency trading and takes the whole experience to another level of trading and psychological challenge. It's really unique and I wanted to bring on the co-founders of Hxro to talk about it. In this episode, Dan Gunsberg and Rob Levy chat with me about what they've built, what they're planning for the future, and more. They have a deep history

Bob Reid is the former GM of BitTorrent and he's been involved in crypto for quite some time as well. He's now undertaking a highly ambitious project with Everest -- an all encompassing crypto project that includes micro-payments, record keeping, micro finance, identification, and more. As you'll hear in the interview, I call it EverID. They have since rebranded to Everest since it's beyond the ID scope.

You can subscribe to new episodes of Ledger Cast on iTunes, on Google Play, on Stitcher, on YouTube and via RSS. The information in this podcast should not be construed as investment advice, it is purely educational material and you should always do your own research before buying. Lowstrife is one of the most talented traders I know, and perhaps the best scalper I've ever seen. He quite literally takes thousands of (mostly low timeframe) trades per year. He watches the charts, the orderbooks, and goes in for the trade with great precision. We brought up a couple of relevant other podcasts, including this one with "Rambo", a legendary pit trader. We also talked about some of Lowstrife's Trading View charts, like when he was watching for the break of the prior all time high and setting his expectations for what the meat of the bull market would be capable of

Welcome to Ledger Cast, hosted by me, Brian Krogsgard (@ledgerstatus on twitter), and in this episode I'm joined by a special guest, Nik Patel, aka CoinTraderNik. You can subscribe to new episodes of Ledger Cast on iTunes, on Google Play, on Stitcher, on YouTube and via RSS. The information in this podcast should not be construed as investment advice, it is purely educational material and you should always do your own research before buying. Nik has a fascinating story to tell of trading crypto starting with just a couple hundred dollars, not once but twice. He has participated in the crypto markets of 2014-2016 and again in 2017-2018 with a break in the middle. Both times he started with very little and turned it into real money. He's even written a book that's part personal story and part guide to navigating the land of alt coins. He approaches markets differently than a lot of technical traders and I think you'll enjoy hearing his stories, and reading his book. Check out Nik's website and buy the book off

The information in this podcast should not be construed as investment advice, it is purely educational material and you should always do your own research before buying. Jesse is a talented trader with an interesting story. He cut his teeth in trading the rapid rise and fall of pot stocks on traditional markets. He has an impressive boom and bust story where he made half a million dollars and lost most of it. In crypto, Jesse has taken hard lessons learned from those days and worked his way to be able to trade full time. We discuss his strategy, what he's learned, and a good bit about market psychology. You should also check out his interview on Chat With Traders for his pot-stock story that we give a brief review on but mostly pick u

Part of our discussion was around some of the coins that are outperforming the market -- either by consolidating around higher levels or even maintaining uptrends. They are few and far between. We also discuss our upcoming live show in Washington DC for those of you interested. And in the middle of the show I take a moment to talk to Aaron Lammer of Coin Talk -- one of

He mixes fundamental investments, "hot" sector investments, and active swing trading. He's been involved in the cryptocurrency trading world for several years and there is a great deal we can learn from his story and knowledge.
