Joel Comm AI keynote speaker presenting to a large conference audience

Blockchain & Cryptocurrency Keynote Speaker

I have recorded more than 800 episodes of the Bad Crypto Podcast. Over 10 million downloads. I have interviewed the founders, the skeptics, the regulators, and the true believers. I have been through the hype cycles. I have been through the crashes. I am still here. When your audience needs someone who can explain blockchain and cryptocurrency clearly and honestly, without shilling or fear-mongering, that is what I do.

Why Joel

The Bad Crypto Podcast is one of the longest-running and most downloaded cryptocurrency podcasts in the world, with more than 800 episodes and over 10 million downloads. I have interviewed leaders from every corner of the blockchain space. But my perspective goes deeper than crypto. I have been in technology since 1980. I built one of the first 18,000 websites. I sold a company to Yahoo!. I have watched technology revolutions come and go for 45 years. That long view is what separates me from speakers who only know blockchain. I am also a NYT bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and Guerrilla Marketing Hall of Fame inductee. My enterprise clients include Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, and Alibaba.

What Your Audience Gets

Your audience gets a speaker who can make blockchain understandable to a room full of bankers, lawyers, or insurance executives without dumbing it down or hyping it up. I use my Disruption Confidence Cycle to show where blockchain fits in the broader arc of technology disruption. I cover what is real, what is speculative, and what your industry needs to pay attention to right now. No jargon walls. No moonshot promises. Just clarity from someone who has been in the trenches for 800 episodes and counting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Joel a crypto promoter or an objective speaker?

I am not here to sell your audience on any token or project. I have seen too many speakers do that and it never ages well. My job is to give your audience an honest, clear-eyed view of where blockchain technology stands, where it is heading, and what it means for their industry. I have earned the trust of more than 10 million podcast listeners by being straight with them. I will be straight with your audience too.

Can Joel tailor the keynote for a non-technical audience?

That is actually where I do my best work. The Bad Crypto Podcast was designed from day one to make cryptocurrency accessible to normal people. I have spent 800 episodes learning how to explain complex technology in plain language. Banking conferences, legal summits, insurance events. Those are my sweet spots.

Is blockchain still relevant given the market cycles?

The market goes up and down. The technology keeps advancing. Every major bank, every government, every supply chain company is exploring blockchain applications. The hype faded. The building did not. That is exactly the phase where your audience needs to pay the most attention, and I can show them why.

How far in advance should we book?

Three to six months is ideal, especially during peak conference season. My calendar fills up, so earlier outreach gives us the best chance of securing your preferred date.
