Crypto Spotlight: GetDiscreet
ICOs are so 2017. In fact, there were so many of them in 2017 that we had special episodes of the show called the ICO Spotlight. Since that time we’ve seen multiple new variations of token offerings with different names and acronyms to comply with regulations and securities laws. Yet, the principle remains the same. A company wishes to fundraise for their new project and they orchestrate a token sale to make it happen.
As you might imagine, our inbox is packed with companies that wish to be on the podcast to share their project with our audience. In episode 520, we bring you a special crypto spotlight featuring a project building a private and secure blockchain that is six times more anonymous than any other privacy coin.
So let’s go down the rabbit hole and discover what innovations are taking place in the crypto world on this sponsored Crypto Spotlight episode #520 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
