Customer Reviews
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.
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!!
LOVE THIS POD
Definitely the go to resource for bitcoin news and mining.
