who is this for though?
$248 billed annually for a sliced up podcast of a guy explaining something you could easily research yourself for free
It's a nice UI, but it seems like a finely polished grift.
One day, bitcoiners will realize that "NGU" is actually only true if "Number OF PEOPLE Go Up"
I'm not saying you have to work for free, or that you shouldn't charge for the content you produce... but think about what Jeff Booth says, everything will be reduced to the marginal cost of production, and this includes education. Is $248/yr fair value for access to a spliced up podcast? I doubt it.
We shouldn't be putting up expensive paywalls to prevent newcomers from accessing high quality educational resources. There's a value mismatch here and annual based fees for a 'course' that probably takes an evening to go through firmly places this into "grift" territory for me. There isn't anything here that a youtube playlist can't explain for free.
for $248/year, I'd basically expect a hardware wallet in the mail and some real sats to be sent to me from the education service to familiarize myself with transacting as well as unlimited access to continually updated online educational resources
