What is an Alt-Coin? Today, the guys drop some knowledge by inviting the CTO and co-founder of Stellar.org to the show. Jed McCaleb shares what the Stellar Foundation does and how their Lumens cryptocurrency solves a major problem related to payments. And it gets better.. Stellar has provided The Bad Crypto Podcast with 400 sets of Lumens to give away to our listeners.  In this episode, we'll tell you how you can get one of the first one-hundred sets of this cryptocurrency.  (We'll be giving away more in the future.)
