  • Love it

    One of the best podcast I’ve ever listened to, great education, banter, almost had to drop the rating only due to the inconsistency of releases, I miss it when it doesn’t come out weekly.

  • Upgrading your review

    Learning that you trade cryptos was a shock. I gave you a bad review for trading garbage. That said, you did very well in this episode. Your analysis of the madness in this government was just real, objective and sober. That’s exactly what is happening. Gold = 1/trust. Sell USA is happening and accelerating for a very solid reason.

  • What? Do you trade cryptos?

    Learning that you trade cryptos was a shock. Who trades a currency that is not a currency, which has no collateral, can be mined!, it can be stolen and scammed, it is used my criminals and millenniums, it is a Ponzi scheme and zero regulation? Do you own NFTs as well? I will start trading the opposite of you suggest. Your credibility is worthing the same as the notional value of a crypto right now. Grow up. Trade a real asset.
