Transcripts
It's August the 8th, and this is episode 66 of Generational Wealth with Cryptocurrency.
Speaker:I'm your host, MacIntosh, and today we're going to be talking about how to be a whale.
Speaker:Hey, everyone. No one on this podcast is a financial advisor, and all information
Speaker:presented on this podcast is for informational purposes only.
Speaker:Now that we have the legal stuff out of the way, let's jump on in.
Speaker:All right. This week, we'll be covering the news, we'll be covering the market,
Speaker:and we will be talking about my announcement from last week. I have come up with levels,
Speaker:and these are a way to make this a little fun. We'll discuss that when we get to it,
Speaker:but this is really a way to help the listeners become more engaged, which is always a goal,
Speaker:I think, of any podcaster. And I've seen this work with other shows, and it's something I've been
Speaker:wrestling with, how to put in place, and I think I have a good plan. So we'll talk about that in
Speaker:just a few minutes. There has been a lot of news this week, so we will cover that first,
Speaker:unlike last week when there was virtually nothing.
Speaker:So I think maybe a lot of people miss stuff like this, and I don't want to get too much off into
Speaker:economics and this kind of thing. I know I probably tend to talk about it a little too
Speaker:much already, but I think this is important. So this is what they call earnings season.
Speaker:They have a lot of companies who are telling you what their net worth is, this kind of thing,
Speaker:not net worth, how they performed. And to be honest, I think in a lot of ways,
Speaker:for a lot of companies, these have come in surprisingly well. But on the other hand,
Speaker:over the last few months, we've had a lot of layoffs, specifically in the tech sector.
Speaker:The company that I worked for was actually hit with this. It's now been a couple months ago.
Speaker:They did what we call a reduction in force or whatever. And understand, I want to talk about
Speaker:this for just a second, not specifically because of my company, but in general, this is actually
Speaker:what goes on. So a company realizes it's not doing so well and times maybe are not looking so great.
Speaker:Obviously, we've got inflation going up, this kind of thing. So what can they control?
Speaker:One of the aspects of all this that they can control is, of course, the number of employees they got.
Speaker:I believe in my opinion, and I may be incorrect in this, but I believe that companies use this as a
Speaker:way to reduce headcount in a way that, I mean, they'll say, well, we got to do it because of the
Speaker:economics. And that's true to an extent, but they'll use it to reduce redundancies. They'll
Speaker:use it to reduce people who are not performing up to expectations. And that's true to an extent.
Speaker:They're forming up to expectations. See, 20 years ago, when I first got started in the tech industry,
Speaker:if you didn't do your job, after about six months, you got fired. And now it's become
Speaker:difficult to do that. I mean, there are states that it's virtually impossible to fire people
Speaker:unless they're burning the building down. So they use times like this to call the herd. And look,
Speaker:I've been through layoffs. I've been part of that. And it's a terrible thing when you're on the end
Speaker:of it. But thinking this through and maybe understanding that helped me actually cope with
Speaker:the frustrations that I felt for years, really, when I was laid off back in 2000. I was laid
Speaker:off multiple times back in 2000, 2001 timeframe during the kind of the last big, the end of the
Speaker:last big tech bubble, right? So we had a big tech bubble in the late 90s, 2000, and then it burst.
Speaker:Now, I don't think that's what's, I think we're having different reasons here, but I think the
Speaker:end result is the same. I think we're losing a lot of these employees, or they're having to go out
Speaker:and find new jobs or whatever, because of this. Now, the good news is the unemployment numbers
Speaker:actually are quite low. And they make a big deal out of that. They also released the unemployment
Speaker:unemployment, the number of new jobs that were added. We'll discuss that in a minute. That
Speaker:actually came out later in the week. This was on Monday. Amazon, everybody knows who Amazon is.
Speaker:They cut a hundred thousand employees from their workforce in a single quarter. That's a
Speaker:astronomically high number of people. Now, they, and that was globally, and it is said that they
Speaker:are now hiring at their slowest pace since 2019. So since prior to COVID, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker:So they are taking this opportunity to, in fact, do just what I said, reduce redundancies and
Speaker:eliminate people who aren't making it. So there you go. A hundred thousand people out looking for a
Speaker:job all over the world. That's not, of course, just here in America. Good times, right? That's
Speaker:why we do Bitcoin. That's why we do crypto, this kind of thing. What's next? Ah, yes. We had an
Speaker:exploit and I wanted to talk about this. We had a couple of exploits this week. Actually,
Speaker:this was the first one, August the 2nd. I didn't even tweet about this one. To be honest,
Speaker:I'd never even heard about this token bridge. So this is a bridge between different assets.
Speaker:It's called the Nomad Token Bridge. They drained it of almost $200 million in a security exploit.
Speaker:I don't know what to say other than these bridges, these DeFi apps in general,
Speaker:to be honest, they don't do a good job of security.
Speaker:And I almost think there's this attitude. They don't care. They don't think it's important,
Speaker:maybe because it's not their money. I don't know. I don't understand it. And from the
Speaker:background that I come from, in terms of computers and networks, this makes no sense to me,
Speaker:to be honest. This is something that, as DeFi moves into the mainstream,
Speaker:and it's not in the mainstream yet, this will have to change. I've been banking with the same company,
Speaker:the same credit union, since I was 12 years old, a long time ago. And to my knowledge,
Speaker:they've never been compromised. They've never been hacked. My assets have never been at risk.
Speaker:So, I think differently about that. Until this type of thing changes, that will continue
Speaker:to be different. I personally would never put a large sum of money on one of these things.
Speaker:It's ridiculous. Until they're proven for a long time. Anyways. Next, we've got...
Speaker:Let's see here. Ah, yes. Our next compromise on Wednesday. All right, guys. I have talked about
Speaker:Solana. I'm done talking about Solana. I did tweet about this. I said, if you got any Solana,
Speaker:which I've already said stuff like this, you should just turn it into Bitcoin.
Speaker:Just sell it. Just turn it into Bitcoin. Stop it. This is ludicrous. This entire network
Speaker:is such a house of cards. It's not even funny. So, on the third, which was Wednesday, I believe.
Speaker:Yes. Last Wednesday, all of a sudden, they had thousands of wallets, thousands of wallets that
Speaker:had their Solana drained out of them through an exploit. They were targeted Solana wallets.
Speaker:Phantom and Slope, which are two Solana-based web services, wallet services, flagged the attacks on
Speaker:their social media platforms. The attackers gained access to users' private keys, and they
Speaker:just took their money. So, there you go. And they're urging Solana users to move their funds to cold
Speaker:storage. Like I said, I would move my money to Bitcoin and move it out of the Solana ecosystem,
Speaker:period. And I don't have anything else to say about that. And I'm just going to stop covering
Speaker:Solana. I guess if there's a major thing, we need to talk about it. But I cannot, in any good
Speaker:conscience, recommend anyone buy Solana at this point. So, I'm going to stop talking about Solana.
Speaker:Oh, I wanted to read this email to you guys. Bless these people's heart.
Speaker:For one thing, I don't think they realize that, really, the reality is this podcast isn't that
Speaker:large at this point. And so, this really wouldn't be of a great benefit. But I have already started
Speaker:receiving emails from exchanges who want me to show their product. Hi, my name is Dirk. I'll leave
Speaker:out his last name, and I'm in charge of the Trading Education Department at PrimeXBT.com.
Speaker:We're currently running a YouTube channel with 26,000 subscribers. Nice. And our Academy Twitter
Speaker:account with 24,000 followers, where I share my findings about trading and investing in
Speaker:cryptocurrencies with our viewers from my own 25 years of experience of being a professional trader.
Speaker:Congratulations. If you've been a trader for 25 years, why do you have a job, Dirk? Just asking
Speaker:for a friend. I mean, seriously, are you doing it just to teach people? Because after 25 years,
Speaker:you should be set for life. I'm currently looking for other content creators that would be interested
Speaker:in a cooperation on creating interesting cryptocurrency-based content. Cooperation
Speaker:could be, for example, me being a guest on your podcast and or you being a guest on one of our
Speaker:YouTube shows. Anything is really possible here. Blah, blah, blah. No, Dirk, I'm not interested.
Speaker:And if you listen to the podcast, you'll find that out. All right. Probably the biggest news.
Speaker:Actually, I'm going to jump one. We're going to talk about the U.S. jobless rates, which I
Speaker:already mentioned. This dovetails with the other one about Amazon. The Labor Department said that
Speaker:initial claims for state unemployment increased by 6,000 to 260,000 in the week ending on July 30th,
Speaker:hovering near an eight-month high. So, unemployment has increased to an eight-month high.
Speaker:Okay, so that's bad. We have 10.7 million job openings, according to the Labor Department.
Speaker:That's good. That's actually, if you think about that, 10.7 million job openings. That's one per
Speaker:30 people, actually. Right? No, did I do that math right? Well, 10 times 10 would be 100 million.
Speaker:Yeah, 30. One per 30 million. So, that's 330 million people or something in the United States.
Speaker:So, for every 30 people, there's a job. That's man, woman, child, infant, whomever.
Speaker:So, we've got a job shortage. We've got a shortage of people to do the jobs, but our
Speaker:unemployment continues to increase. It's at an eight-month high. I don't understand it. I don't.
Speaker:Some people say, well, because maybe the part of it is people are out working two jobs, which
Speaker:in this economy, I think that's probably part of it, because people can't make ends meet, right?
Speaker:You're paying $5 a gallon, $4 a gallon for gas, and everything is going up across the board. I
Speaker:mean, there's nothing that I do anymore that costs the same or less, almost without exception, than
Speaker:it did two years ago. And some of it is dramatically up. So, I think there's a lot of side hustles
Speaker:going on. I don't know. Anyways, those figures came out. And then, finally, we'll wrap things up
Speaker:with what might actually be the biggest news of the week, certainly in the long run. Coinbase,
Speaker:their stock jumped, which it always does when they do announcements like this, after announcing a
Speaker:Bitcoin partnership with BlackRock. Now, I don't talk about BlackRock very much on this show.
Speaker:Even just a few years ago, BlackRock was saying Bitcoin is bad, basically. BlackRock, and I don't
Speaker:want to get into all this. I'm not going to. It's whatever. But they are the world's largest money
Speaker:manager, financial asset manager, whatever. It's almost $10 trillion, or it's right at $10 trillion,
Speaker:something like that. $10 trillion in assets under management, an incredibly large amount.
Speaker:And they're going to start offering Bitcoin to their clients. So, again, we have the increased
Speaker:adoption by the industry, by companies, by major institutions.
Speaker:So that is certainly a very bullish item, if you want to call it that.
Speaker:And to wrap up the economy, I actually have one more. The Democrats figured out a way, and it
Speaker:doesn't matter. They got a moderate Democrat senator to sign on, to get their $700 billion
Speaker:economic package. Now, the funny thing about this, and I don't want to go into it, it doesn't matter.
Speaker:I'm sure there's something in there that you've heard about, and I'm sure you've heard about it,
Speaker:but I don't want to go into it. It doesn't matter. I'm sure there's something in there that you like.
Speaker:There may be things that you don't like, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
Speaker:One of the things that will make a major change in our country, and I'm speaking specifically
Speaker:about the United States here, for those of you who listen outside of the United States,
Speaker:we have to stop this crap. You can't put together a trillion dollar economic bill and not have a
Speaker:bunch of pork in it. Pork is excess. Oh, I want this little thing for my district, and it's only
Speaker:a billion dollars, and it doesn't mean anything else to the rest of the country, but we're going
Speaker:to make the taxpayers in the country pay for it. That's garbage. A bill, whether it's in the House
Speaker:or Senate, should be on a single piece of paper. It should cover a single topic. It should be able
Speaker:to be read by anybody of average intelligence in 10 minutes and understood. I guarantee you that's
Speaker:not what this bill is, and they call it the Inflation Reduction Act, and that is a joke.
Speaker:You can't spend $700 billion and reduce inflation. Think about that. These people are crazy.
Speaker:Sorry, but it's true. They believe in something that it's broken, and it's fundamentally broken,
Speaker:and they know it, or they refuse to accept it. I don't know, but they continue to do this garbage,
Speaker:but it's going through. So if you want a $7,500 credit on an SUV electric vehicle,
Speaker:congratulations. You got it. All right. Let's move on. I'm done. I'm going to take a deep breath,
Speaker:and we're going to move on to more fun things. We'll go ahead and do the market update. I really
Speaker:probably should do this in a regular order, but whatever. It's Sunday night as normal. It's
Speaker:10.40. I'm actually a little early tonight. The price of Bitcoin is $23,299. Ethereum is at $1,711.
Speaker:Thinking about this on the fly, I should actually start writing this down. I have
Speaker:trouble remembering from week to week what the price is, and it was near this last week. I
Speaker:remember that. We really haven't had that much action this week. We tried to take a little
Speaker:swing up, and it got pushed back down. I do believe, because we've had several of these,
Speaker:we've had several little fake breakouts, I think we're going to end up breaking down from here
Speaker:and going lower until we get a weekly close above $23,800 on Bitcoin. It's not a bull rally,
Speaker:and even then, I'm still cautious, as I think I said last week, but certainly before that happens.
Speaker:We've had days even above $23,800. I think we've certainly had some time period above $23,800,
Speaker:but it will not stay up there, and it keeps breaking down. $23,200 is a fairly important
Speaker:level, and once it breaks through that, it'll start going down into the $22,800, I think,
Speaker:and so on. We're still there, and I hope you're still DCAing. We'll see what happens this week.
Speaker:ADA is at $0.533. Actually, it's up a little bit, so $0.53. That's up like $0.03, I think,
Speaker:$0.04 from last week. You could look at that and say if it were $0.03 even, that's
Speaker:$0.50. Am I doing that math right? I'm probably not doing that math right. Well, not a 10%
Speaker:increase, sorry. Nothing great, but nothing to throw away either.
Speaker:All right, so there's our market. We just kind of chug along. Please, I don't want to turn this
Speaker:into an episode on DCAing, but I hope you're DCAing. You can set up recurring buys in Bitcoin with
Speaker:Stripe. I love to do that. You can go in there daily, weekly, monthly, make your purchases.
Speaker:I would recommend at least weekly, if not daily, on these purchases, if at all possible, just
Speaker:because you can kind of have these swings. We've been below $23,000 this week. We've been
Speaker:almost up to $24,000. If you buy it at the $24,000, well, that's quite a swing down to
Speaker:where we're even at right now and every little bit helps. Every sat will count in the long run,
Speaker:even with $100 million of them. All right, on to the fun stuff. I am so excited to tell you guys
Speaker:about this. I really am. Maybe I'm crazy, but I've talked to you all quite a bit about value for
Speaker:value, this kind of thing. I follow the Podcasting 2.0 podcast for one. It's a lot of technical stuff,
Speaker:but they're talking about the Podcasting 2.0 ecosystem. They're doing that on value for value,
Speaker:of course. People are sending in sats in, they're streaming sats, they're boosting sats,
Speaker:and so on and so forth. With Adam's other show, which is called No Agenda, it's been around for
Speaker:15 years and it's always been value for value. Now, they're very well-defined about it at this
Speaker:point. They probably weren't right out of the gate, but I think they got a pretty good handle
Speaker:on it pretty early on. They've spent a long time refining this. One of the things that they do,
Speaker:I've mentioned this before, but they have different levels. They have knights and dames,
Speaker:men and women. They have barons and baronesses. They have vicounts, dukes, earls. I don't know,
Speaker:but they have these different levels. You get to the level by providing a level of support,
Speaker:and you don't have to do it all at once. I'm going to tell you what their levels are, at least
Speaker:for a knight or dame, and you may be blown away. Like I said, they've been around a long time.
Speaker:They've had people who have supported their podcast literally for years. They'll do a recurring
Speaker:subscription through PayPal, which you can do at $5 a week. Doesn't sound like much. It's a coffee,
Speaker:right? These people will, over a period of time, let's see, it would take $5 a week to get to,
Speaker:it's $1,000 for a knight or dame. That's four years, basically. I think I just did that math
Speaker:right. I could be wrong. It took a while, and that's okay. They have people who do it instantly. I've
Speaker:seen them get really large donations, if you want to call it that. I don't like calling them
Speaker:donations, support, because people get a lot of value out of listening to that podcast. That
Speaker:podcast discusses world events. They do have a very large audience. It's actually over a million
Speaker:people, and it supports them quite well. I don't expect that. I just want to set out expectations.
Speaker:I'm going to tell you what my levels are. I'm going to tell you I had to make it crypto related,
Speaker:so I finally came up with it. There's a chart on Glassnode. Glassnode is an analytics company.
Speaker:I don't know why people do this, but they've given levels to people who own Bitcoin. I don't
Speaker:know if you've ever heard this. I don't actually know why people do this, but it's kind of funny.
Speaker:If you've ever heard the term Bitcoin whale, for example, you probably have if you've
Speaker:been around long enough, but there's others. I only actually knew of a few of them
Speaker:until I saw this chart. It's a breakdown of who owns Bitcoin in total, including the miners,
Speaker:9.7%. The exchanges, 12.7%. That's like Coinbase, Kraken, whoever. Then the different institutions
Speaker:would fall under this, really, or people. I'll start from the bottom. The shrimps, less than one
Speaker:Bitcoin. Crabs, one to 10 Bitcoin, which I'd never heard of crabs, octopus, fish. I think I'd heard
Speaker:of dolphins and sharks and whales. Then there's actually humpbacks. Going back to the crabs,
Speaker:one to 10, octopus 10 to 50, fish 50 to 100, dolphin 100 to 500 Bitcoin, sharks 500 to 1,000,
Speaker:a whale is 1,000, 1,000 to 5,000. These are Bitcoin. This is a lot of money, of course.
Speaker:Then humpbacks greater than 5,000. Actually, 13.3% are humpbacks. 18.4% are whales, which is
Speaker:an astoundingly high number to me. That's actually the highest category. Sharks are 6.6%. Dolphins,
Speaker:11.8%, 4.7% for the fish, 8.9% for the octopus, crabs are 9%, and shrimp are 4.9%. Of course,
Speaker:I'm not going to do this in Bitcoin. Even one Bitcoin would be an astounding amount,
Speaker:of course, even at today's depressed prices. What I want to do to make it fun, we converted into
Speaker:Sats. We're talking about Sats. I'm going to give you the numbers in Sats, and then I'll give you the
Speaker:numbers in dollars. We bat around these numbers in Sats, and sometimes it seems like a lot of money,
Speaker:and we forget. There's 100 million Sats in a Bitcoin, and of course, it depends on the exchange
Speaker:rate, but Sats are sub-cent level tokens. Anyways, I made my chart up. I figured it all out.
Speaker:This was done a few days ago, although the prices have stayed about the same. I'm going to give you
Speaker:those prices from a few days ago. We'll start from the bottom. Shrimps, I decided to make the first
Speaker:one 50,000, so I thought that was a pretty good goal. That is actually $11.69. For the price of
Speaker:two Starbucks, basically, you can be a shrimp and support this show. You don't have to do it all at
Speaker:once. One of the things I did want to mention, at this point, I get dumps of all the streams and all
Speaker:the boost. I am not going to keep track of this for people. It is way too complicated.
Speaker:I would expect people to do this themselves, and I would honor that if they would say,
Speaker:hey, I'm a shrimp, or I'm a crab, or whatever. You can attach the accounting if you wish.
Speaker:It's been this number of boosts. I'm on the fence about streams. I think I'll go ahead and include
Speaker:it if you can keep track of that. If you can't, don't worry about it. That's completely up to you.
Speaker:It's an honor system, I guess you could say. Shrimps, $50,000. Crab, $100,000. That's $23.37.
Speaker:Octopus, we jump up to $250,000. That's $58.43. Fish, $500,000. That's $116.86 at current prices.
Speaker:Dolphin, I made that a million. Sats, that's $233.72. Sharks, $2.5 million. That's $584.
Speaker:Whales, $3.5 million. That's $818. Then humpbacks are $5 million. We may never get a humpback. We
Speaker:may never get a whale, and that's fine. In fact, to be honest, we may never get anything above a,
Speaker:I don't know, a shrimp. I have no idea. We will have to see where this is going.
Speaker:I will put this out somewhere on the website. I will probably include it in the show notes today,
Speaker:certainly. The prices in USD, that's going to be the tricky part. I'll be honest.
Speaker:You can send me a PayPal donation, which is certainly greatly appreciated, but it's all
Speaker:just going to end up converted to Sats. I'm going to do this based on these values.
Speaker:When the price of Bitcoin is at $70,000 next time, which is three times what it's at right now,
Speaker:then it will cost three times as much to get to these levels. I can't avoid that.
Speaker:I live, in regards to generational wealth and cryptocurrency, I live in a Bitcoin world.
Speaker:I live in a Sats world. I don't really live in a USD world. I'm out here putting out value.
Speaker:I'm hopefully collecting value, and that value will be in Sats. If things get crazy, if Bitcoin
Speaker:reaches $200,000, then maybe we have a discussion about this because at that point, a shrimp would
Speaker:be $100, which I don't know. That's not crazy really, but we'll see. I'm open to feedback on
Speaker:that certainly from the listeners, but it's certainly a good time at this point to be supporting the
Speaker:show. $50,000 Sats for $11, I mean really, just throwing that out there. That's it actually.
Speaker:I hope you like it. We're going to have fun with it. If we start having people who get to that level,
Speaker:and I think we will over time, then we will celebrate that. To be honest, for now certainly,
Speaker:you hit the shrimp level, and buddy, I will talk about you on the show. Congratulations, your shrimp.
Speaker:With no agenda, again, going back to them, just as a comparison, their first level at night is
Speaker:$1,000. They actually send out like a signet ring and some ceiling wax, and I don't have anything
Speaker:like that. Maybe I come up with stuff over time. At the shrimp level, it would have to be a lot
Speaker:higher before we really start talking about something like that, but maybe for the sharks
Speaker:and whales and humpbacks, we do something really special for them. I don't know. Maybe
Speaker:I might be open to having people come on the show and chat. To be honest, I'd never even thought
Speaker:about that until right now. Maybe at the level of dolphin and above, which would be a million Sats,
Speaker:$233, and you can come on and, I don't know, we'll talk about your journey. We'll talk about
Speaker:whatever questions you got. So there, that's thought. We'll see. I actually, I kind of like
Speaker:that. Now, I think about it. If you're open to that, when you hit the dolphin level,
Speaker:when you hit the dolphin level, if you're going to do it once, it doesn't matter if you go above
Speaker:that, but if you hit the dolphin level, bring you on the show. I think that's the best way to
Speaker:go. I think that'd be pretty cool. All right. So that's it actually for tonight.
Speaker:I hope this has been helpful. Really, seriously. And I hope you like it. All right. So we had some
Speaker:people supporting the show this week. Appreciate that. And we'll go through them real quick. We've
Speaker:got our boost. Crypto Nomad, listening to the Simple Math and Bitcoin episode, boosted 198 Sats.
Speaker:That's interesting. It's 198. I'm wondering if that's after the Sats are taking out. It might
Speaker:have been 200. I don't know. We'll have to see. Maybe I'll have to do a test and see what comes
Speaker:through. Carlo GZ boosted three Sats. Ginny Jams boosted 10 Sats twice. Thank you, Ginny.
Speaker:Zahn Bix boosted two Sats. And actually, Ginny and Zahn were both listening to the
Speaker:last episode, as well as Carlo GZ. All right. Our next one.
Speaker:All right. Terrific. We got... I'm going to spell it. I don't know how to pronounce it. X-I-M-E pin,
Speaker:P-I-N, boosted twice. And that was for 40 Sats each. So thanks a lot. Appreciate that.
Speaker:And that was also for... Actually, that was for the CBDC's versus Bitcoin podcast,
Speaker:prepare for the future. All right. And then we had some more streaming. Appreciate that. Streaming
Speaker:really does help. I really appreciate that. Do not have time to go through all that though,
Speaker:unfortunately. And that's it. So that's it for this week for our boost. I did not see any messages.
Speaker:Of course, when you boost, you can message. You can always direct message me at Twitter,
Speaker:send me an email at macintosh at chinwellcrypto.com. So that will be it for this week.
Speaker:Let me know what you think about my new levels. And if you use in the Fountain app, I did notice
Speaker:one thing. It will actually show you a summary for how much you've supported or show. I know
Speaker:people think I'm just a shill for the Fountain app. It's just the one that I use all the time.
Speaker:I'm actually on their beta program now trying to help them out. But it's what I'm using and I get
Speaker:no nothing from that. But you can see the stats that you've boosted or streamed to a show. So
Speaker:that might be a way you can keep up with your accounting for these levels. So first level,
Speaker:50,000 for our shrimp. So who's going to be the first shrimp? That will be the question.
Speaker:All right. Yes, we've already talked about this for virtually the entire episode. But of course,
Speaker:we are a value for value podcast, a podcasting 2.0 podcast. We don't have any sponsors. No,
Speaker:Fountain is not our sponsor. No advertising and certainly not PrimeXBT. Sorry, whoever you were,
Speaker:which I don't remember your name. Dirk. You can support the podcast in three ways, but the good
Speaker:news is you don't have to listen to ads, just me rambling. You can support the podcast in three
Speaker:ways, times talent or treasure. If you want to support the podcast and have some time or talent,
Speaker:I really would like to get transcriptions going. I just don't have time. Now that I've slowed down
Speaker:a little bit, I may be able to look into that, but that's something that would help people who are
Speaker:hard of hearing. It would also help the Google searches, to be honest.
Speaker:Treasure, just what it sounds like. I have talked about treasure for the last
Speaker:20 minutes, so I am not going to elaborate on that. If you find what we're doing valuable,
Speaker:please support us with value. I would really appreciate that. You can find your podcast in
Speaker:2.0 app at newpodcastapps.com. There'll be a link for that in the show notes.
Speaker:That's it. Please tell your friends about it. Love to hear from you. That's going to wrap it up.
