Crypto Banter

Crypto Banter is an interactive social cast for those interested in crypto currency.(1) As of 1st June 2021 the Crypto Banter YouTube Channel has over 300,000 subscribers and 49,000 followers on Instagram. It discusses the latest news from within the sector, and the live YouTube shows include interviews and live conversations with well known individuals within the crypto currency world. The show is interactive with the hosts responding to questions from the live audience during each show.

It is important to remember that Crypto Banter is a social podcast for entertainment purposes only, and that all opinions of the hosts, guests and callers should not be considered financial advice. Viewers are regularly reminded that they must do their own research with regards to crypto currency.

The Crypto Banter Vision

“To be the world’s premier, credible source of streaming crypto information.”

Hosts

Ran Neu-ner

Prior to creating the Crypto Banter community, Ran Neu-ner founded and successfully exited the largest marketing business in Africa.(2)

Ran founded and is the anchor of the world’s first televised crypto show called Crypto Trader which is aired on CNBC Africa. Ran is also founder of the Blockchain Investment Institute, an online education platform for those interested in investing in crypto currency.

Ran is a finance major, a CFA charter holder, a Harvard alumnus and a board member of the Young Presidents organisation in New York City.

Sheldon The Sniper

Following a chance meeting with Ran Neu-ner in a bar in Cape Town, Sheldon was invited on to the show by Ran in early 2021 as a co-host. Sheldon offers technical analysis of the markets and frequently shares his own trading charts with the Crypto Banter subscribers. In May 2021, Sheldon told his backstory during a live show. In an emotional account, he shared the fact that his parents had him and his brother at a very young age and that he sadly lost his father to suicide. Sheldon remains extremely close to his brother and his mother who occasionally is a guest host on the show with Ran and Sheldon.

Fred

Fred (full identity unknown) is the show's producer and whilst his role on the show is off-camera, he is regularly the focus of the live messaging during the shows and he holds somewhat of a cult status amongst the Crypto Banter community.

Banter Bags

The Banter Bags Giveaway is an incentive to subscribe to and participate in the Crypto Banter community. At key milestones in subscriber numbers e.g 250,000 the hosts will randomly select 10 community members to receive an equal share of the Banter Bags. The Banter Bags contain crypto currency assets derived from an investment of $10,000 USD purchasing mainly into pre-market allocations and in some cases selling certain portions and re-purchasing the proceeds. Past Banter Bag allocation values have been in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
