Popping the NFT bubble

In this episode of Magic Internet Money, host Brad Mills invites fellow podcaster Jordan Harbinger onto the show to discuss NFTs, second passports, taxation, and money laundering. Both parties agree on the speculation that NFTs are a tulip style bubble, but are here to stay. The duo share their experiences paying taxes in the cryptocurrency space. Jordan explains how tax evasion is nearly pointless with Bitcoin, since the point of the blockchain is accountability. Jordan also offers his experiences in scam busting, and explains how NFTs could be a new gateway for money launderers akin to money laundering in the art collecting business. Finally, the two discuss the possibilities of second passports in the event of government overreaching for crypto assets.
