Customer Reviews
Best Blockchain Podcast
Imagine if a friend of yours was a really smart PhD economist who was knee deep in crypto, and every week or so felt like talking for an hour about what’s been on her mind. This podcast is not one of the many podcasts out there promoting Bitcoin, ethereum, NFTs, or whatever is buzzing. That’s what makes it special. She is a skeptic, not a maximalist. Highly recommended.
Investing for anyone under 50 years old
Tascha knows her stuff and is well reasoned. Given how difficult it is to navigate markets these days, I appreciate her conviction about exponential technology as the key criteria for making an investment.
A Singular and Compelling Crypto Influencer
By chance, I happened upon Tosches Twitter and YouTube channels and I’ve been astonished at the depth of her knowledge and have gained a lot of value from her perspective. If you find yourself here, consider yourself a very lucky soul! (Plus— she’s kind of hot as well 😏)
