Coins is the podcast that tells the story of the tidal wave caused by crypto and blockchain, the ways it has upended the global financial system and beyond. From those pioneers of the cypherpunk movement, to the multi-trillion dollar industry that has since grown from it. This series shows it all, the scams, the drugs, the hacks, the billionaires, and the bankrupt. The untold story of cryptocurrency is here told by those who are living it.
