bitconnect theme by schmoyoho, graphics by CryptoScamHub, Magic Internet Money inspired by u/mavensbot, invention of bitcoin & all cryptocurrencies by satoshi nakamoto. — Nick Beaton is the host of "Third Rail with Nick Beaton: A Comedy Guide To Social Outrage" https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/third-rail-with-nick-beaton-a-comedy-guide-to-social-outrage/id1433019681 I listen to Nick's podcast often and we decided to do a crossover episode. Nick doesn't know anything about bitcoin, we discuss the basics of cryptocurrency and I try to convince Nick that Bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme. We then get into social & political discussion including my skepticism over how MSM reports and controls the narrative, how I think the Trump Mueller investigation is just distraction from more impactful issues, and the implications of the Assange arrest. This episodes dips more into social & political issues because that's what Nick is an expert in.

Hosted by Brad Mills, Magic Internet Money is a conversation about Bitcoin from the ground up. Brad isn't a programmer or a Wall Street analyst; he's an early adopter who examines this technology through the lens of an everyday user. This perspective shapes the entire podcast, focusing on practical understanding over technical jargon. You'll hear discussions that frame Bitcoin as more than an investment-exploring its role as programmable money for the internet, a peer-to-peer cash system, and what many call digital gold. The show digs into why this open-source invention is viewed as a foundational shift, touching on its potential as an uncensorable tool for free speech and a new store of value. Episodes connect the dots between technology, personal sovereignty, and financial self-improvement, making complex ideas accessible. It’s for anyone curious about how Bitcoin intersects with business, technology, and daily life, presented without pretense. Tune in for straightforward talk about what this digital asset class means for the future, all from someone who believes it's the best form of money we've ever seen.
