BTC is the future ,

Great show!

I am recommending this show to friends - just a good time with Jack, his dad and his friend talking bitcoin. Once I found it I went back and listened to all the episodes I had missed. Looking forward to more! And by the way - no sponsors/ads is a nice touch. Thanks!

Favorite Podcast

My favorite new podcast so far. Genuine, honest, and straightforward.
One thing regarding technicalities, the sound is very low, it’s clear but extremely low especially if you listen around a noisy environment.
