Customer Reviews
Handsdown the best podcaster in Bitcoin
I’ve been watching Stephan’s podcast for a couple of years and he brings in fantastic guests from the Bitcoin community. Even when the guests go into highly technical detail, Stephan is able to follow, contribute and ask relevant questions - he really does get the best from his guests.
Stephan clearly has a very strong technical understanding of Bitcoin, hardware wallets and the general ecosystem. Also, he has really in depth knowledge of what’s happening out in the community - he’s like a beacon of knowledge!
As you can guess, I really admire Stephan’s work, and I’m very thankful that Bitcoiners have got this podcast to further their learning. I really appreciate all the episodes on hardware wallets - I’ve learnt so much about how to best self-custody Bitcoin. I have total respect for Stephan - if you haven’t previously watched Stephan’s podcast I highly recommend you give this a look.
For hodlers and builders.
Stephan distills complex technical issues down to the bare essential for plebs and has a real knack for getting his guests to rephrase and expand on crux issues. Stephan also manages avoid the usual macro evangelists who philosophise and wax lyrical, focusing instead on actionable builders in the space. The podcast is a good fit for those who are not only long term bitcoin hodlers but also want to create the circular economy though real trade and commerce.
High quality podcast. One of the best in the space, cheers
Wonderful
