Stay Humble…
Great Bitcoiner. Great podcast.
Great Conversations on Money, Energy, Bitcoin, and more
I always look forward to my weekly Sunday road trip I take, as it ends up being a classroom on wheels with Stephan and his guests. I’ve really enjoyed this podcast and all of the excellent resources and content that Stephan makes available, thank you!
Lavish saying right a million times.
Guest mr lavish says right so often it should be drinking game. These hosts should get some real skills as much as they make the rounds.
