With the return after our break, Coloring Crypto revisits the top Spotify episode from 2018 with the team's predictions in Crypto. Tweet @gabecolors

Coloring Crypto goes on a 6 week hiatus, ushered in with this chapter close from: None other than my Mom. If I am smart at all, or in whichever smart dynamic I got, my Mom, well her whole family including the aunts an uncles, had something to do with it. If I was to say, what the Coloring Cryptp family member guests have had in common-- now having had Che, Cousin David, Aunt Terrie and now the most recent guest, Episode 51, Bonnie Mott, Coloring Crypto is a family affair. Growing up seeing your sigh in my bathroom: "Washington State has had an equal rights amendment" I thought racism would be gone, gender equality would exist, with bitcoin the rich got richer.. but the concept of a decentralized ledger is going to be good.  #ColoringCrypto

In claiming the summer of 2018 as the Great Gestation, new terms and phrases arose in these interviews and I got seriously scared of what decentralization feels like. In Part 1, Rebekah coins "access equality" and "decentralized success" in the closing episode here @miko coins "consensus currencies" and tells the story of what might the original decentralized currency in the stone age.
