Episode 24 - The Crypto Cake CEX Vs DEX
With cryptocurrency, users have access to innovative digital payments that offer secure and modernized solutions. For a more user-friendly experience in the crypto space, CEXs are an easy point of entry. Additionally, customers can benefit from customer support if needed. DEXes provide advantages better suited for experienced traders who prioritize decentralization over convenience. These exchanges do not involve central authorities or third parties, thus offering enhanced security through greater personal control of funds stored on and traded on them.
In this episode, Mr Machut will discuss The Crypto Cake - CEX vs DEX.

Episode 23 - Blockchain Basics
The blockchain is a digital ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions. It is constantly growing as "completed" blocks are added to it with a new set of recordings. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. Bitcoin nodes use the block chain to differentiate legitimate Bitcoin transactions from attempts to re-spend coins that have already been spent elsewhere.
In this episode, Mr Machut will discuss the basics of blockchain.

You should see the face of this dude from England that I speak to periodically; he helps me with some of our marketing endeavors.

* Disheveled
Rich didn’t always look like that, though. Like all of his fellow countrymen, he has endured a three-month lockdown, with little more than a grocery store open, let alone a pub. (No wonder he looks so poorly.)
I’m Chris Machut, CEO at Netarus, manufacturer of the HoistCam system. And, comparatively, I look like Brad Pitt.
(Ok, I get that a lot.)
Seriously, not only do I feel sorry for anyone enduring draconian anti-Covid measures right now, but I’m also here to make a wider point about lockdowns and the value of sacrifice.
