Riding the Investing Rollercoaster with @JMPlusEV | Value Stack 21
Jared is the host of the Crypto Parabellum Podcast and +Expected Value telegram group. Initially in commercial insurance and investor in real estate, he's now been trading crypto a few years ago and has excelled enough to leave his job and do it full time.
His macro takes are on-point and he’s one of the few people I give weight to when he makes market calls.
Obviously without a crystal ball, he must have knowledge that we can learn from to enhance our investing skills, so Iam excited to have him on the show for Episode 21 of Value Stack!

Understanding Lightning Network with @Jestopher_BTC | Value Stack 20
Today's guest is @Jestopher_BTC. Jestopher is the co-founder of Amboss.space and hosts Satbase.org. He’s an educator on lightning network, community leader, and Bitcoiner with a passion for getting things done.
He's on my short-list of experts to ask lightning-network related questions, and it has been incredible to watch him build Amboss and push lightning growth forward in a meaningful way.
Unfortunately, we had some audio volume issues throughout recording, but hope it's still listenable enough to enjoy the show.

This LUNATIC wants to "upgrade" BTC by BURNING IT? /w @At0xNQ of Nerd Quarters - Value Stack 17
Do you think Bitcoin is too slow? Want more use cases for your Bitcoin? Do more research.
But if you're a LUNATIC like our friend here, you can BURN IT FOREVER now thanks to Strudel Finance and receive "vBTC."
Why would you EVER want to do this? Honestly, we wouldn't. But @At0xNQ of Orkan Finance explains all this in our honest discussion on BTC vs altcoins, wrapped BTC, layer 2 BTC and more.
Is this a big brain idea 🧠 with real use case, or just another get-rich-quick rug pull like we see so often in crypto? Find out in Episode 17 of Value Stack podcast.
Our favorite Taos Bitcoiner co-host @shaperfunds will be back next week.

-We talk about the risks of trading and timing market cycles, as well as managing emotions behind investing, based on our tenured experience as financial managers and bitcoin investors.
-We recognize US Senator Cynthia Lummis' recent OpSec mistake on CNBC in this week's Boating Accident.
-We talk about the difficult adjustment period and the implications a 50% hash rate drop has for the bitcoin network, as well as potential considerations to note over the next few months regarding bitcoin mining.
