Customer Reviews
Thank You Sir
I didn’t think I would be interested in a discussion about bitcoin and Islamic law, but it was fascinating. Thank you.
Long time listener
I actually love Saif and his books (Principles of Economics is outstanding). Unfortunately the show has been bending heavily towards the conflict in Palestine which is understandable as Saif is Palestinian - I likely would be emotionally charged about this as well if I was in his position. And this post is making no value judgment about the issue, but the show has become much less enjoyable with the constant emotional interjections about Israel and Palestine and the US’s involvement. It has begun to really take away from the show content - hopefully Saif can make a secondary podcast focusing on this issue and keep this one fenced in about economics and BtC.
Was really good until the Middle East nonsense
I do not care about Israel or the British mandate of Palestine. Really enjoy the economics but don’t care for the politics.
