ASIC3000 ,

Not stale

Refreshing content in an ecosystem of overdone, lower-level bitcoin discussion. Nice to have a bitcoin pod that understands I don't want to listen to the same content over and over.

Bitcoin Charles ,

Everyone can mine bitcoin now!

Not only is this podcast fun and exciting to listen to, but there is a wealth of information that can be learned about an industry that will impact the future of our global macroeconomy. Highly recommend!!

Jamonun ,
