How TV Ruined Your Life (from Charlie Brooker, creator of Black Mirror)
Kill Your TV in British.
The story of Metakovan the guy who bought the Beeple for 70MM, now a billionaire started off with only a USB stick to save his files because he could not afford a laptop.
Some man, the Silvio - and the team he has around him are impressive too #Algorand

This is probably the best podcast I have listened to in the last 3 months.
There are very interesting philosophical thoughts about human behavior, free markets, perception, nature, and morality. The main theme is Bitcoin.
Long format warning!
Edit: (more info)
To be more specific to persuade you to spend at least 30 minutes tasting this… This podcast filled me with amazement at how elegantly can someone speak about the function of money and its purpose in free markets. I know quite a lot about this stuff so there were not many new stuff for me, but still, the explanation felt so interconnected that now I want to learn this style of explanation. There were some beautiful parts where Robert was comparing markets to nature - I was, again and again, thinking of Dirvines inspiration of nature.
To point out some very specific stuff that caught my attention and I heard the stuff for the first time:
While listening to this I had a very big revelation of hearing this very wise guy who came to the conclusion that Bitcoin is perfect money while completely ignoring Bitcoin is not private and fungible. I think this will change soon and Monero will hugely outperform Bitcoin in the near and also far future.

4 hours ffs! Can’t be arsed with such levels of self-indulgence, sorry. I dipped in and was not gripped.
Can you summarise?
I love British slang! Is that allowed on the forum, though?
Tom Woods is great. I saw some of his lectures and he is always so insightful while being funny. Haven’t known he has podcast though!
Yes please stop arsing around.
Shakespeare’s legacy is vast.
Well here is another seriously long interview/discussion - so I’m sure many “can’t be arsed” lol … but at least give it a start, you might find it interesting enough to watch some of it … seriously great shit.
Video made on many real cases. How hard it is to convince a friend to buy Bitcoin while the price is low:
Privacy. Security. Freedom
