I love when you have open minded conversations 🧡🎧 Ethereum DeFi can become a great holder of $BTC as asset to provide value for us holders. Wait until the EVM compliant Bitcoin Layer 2s go online and generate activity (for vital fees to miners like us). There’s so much demand for blockspace that neither chain alone can fulfill.

When Danielle pops up, our ears perk up 🎧 Thank you for bringing her on, I have been following her on the legacy network (X) for such a long time and learning a lot. A considerable conversation worth hearing and thinking through. You are indeed rather fortunate to have Mr. Bessent on the treasury seat over on your side of The Pond.

Thank you very much, both for bringing on Nick and for making me think about media in a fresh way. I have been listening to my podcasts on Fountain only for a while. I moved away from 🍎 completely. Listening to you and Nick and you I now know why. On paying for good content, yes, I have a subscription, also. They provide a private RSS feed. It has some exclusive content, and then put out the regular episodes without the add. Between supporting what they do, and not having to listen it is worth every “penny” I send them annually. Thank you again, you made me think and spend a lovely evening!

    One of my favourite Bitcoin related podcasts and channels, around and beyond mining ⛏️ I like that you are not “toxic maxis” like some other outlets around this coin are. Technology across chains is fascinating. And development is more varied and eventually secure when done by many. “Lizard Man” is funny. You are appreciated, Blockspace Media Team! 🙏🧡
