Excellent listener feedback this episode. Let's boost BDP higher up the indices! Also, let's aim for chapter markers in every episode (it's worth the wait). Thanks again, and keep up the good work 👍

Inpiring message fom Dad regarding the adversarial environment that we as bitcoiners are entering. Everyone should be working towards self custody if they aren't there already.I was a long time Firefox user but I had to drop Mozilla due to their misguided and negative attitude towards bitcoin. Perhaps I need let go of my idiology on this matter and use the supperior product. Love the show, keep up the good work!
