Jonathan’s been driving about trying to charge his EV. He reports back. We talk about Netflix moving into gaming, GameStop moving into NFTs, and AI moving onto meeting notes.
Following our non-sponsor segment, we turn to This Week in Crypto, which begins with a quick fire round including: Ray Dalio and Carl Icahn get into bitcoin, China’s miners get out, Iran does too, Charlie bit my finger goes NFT, as does a rare alien CryptoPunk at Sotheby’s.
Our main topics in the crypto half of the podcast are the Bitcoin Mining Council; and places where the separation of coin and State is a matter of survival. Finally, we close with Shitcoin or Fakecoin.
