lol you read my ten sats? I’m very new and testing things out. discovered your show from the pod 2.0 show and plan on becoming a regular listener. like that fountain rewards for user attention so that I can give back without giving up privacy to purchased “internet tokens” with fiat currency. keep up the great work!
