Customer Reviews
Great podcast but not thinking critically about UAPs
This is a great podcast and the guys are great, but they are not able to think critically about UAPs. In the words of Carl Sagan (and according to Bayesian logic) extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. A slew of unsubstantiated and improbable claims does not equal probability.
Breedlove in Bluejeans
Josh and Dan downplay their knowledge and sophistication of Bitcoin. Don’t be fooled. They are Breedlove in bluejeans; they simply deliver in plebespeak.
Great Bitcoin Podcast!
Keep the great information coming and bringing amazing innovators, and others building this wonderful money we call Bitcoin to your show! See you at the Milwaukee meet up!
