90% of all bitcoin podcast are pure garbage, wasting time.
  • too much politicized
  • repeating same bullshit the MSM is saying
  • nothing really interesting about Bitcoin itself
  • too much "price prediction" and Saylor bullshit repeated over and over
  • too much shill for bullshit products to make noobs buying crap
  • most of them are dependable of Youtube algorithm, they cannot exist without that. For me that means prostitution
  • many of them do not make bitcoin education, but just bullshit propaganda
  • very few really talk about merchant adoption and how to improve it
You really have to be insane to listen 40h/week all kind of bullshit podcasts

I've listened to bitcoin podcasts in the past, and a lot of them to get different perspectives. These days just 1 or 2 though because I have 1) other things to do. and 2) I have no need. I just get the latest news from Stacker News...
Having said that - when merchant adoption? If bitcoin cannot slowly and gradually transition to a medium of exchange used for transactions, goods and services, then it will die. It cannot be number go up forever.

I was on a roll for a few years. Suddenly, I can barely watch an episode. I can't find any new perspectives.

That's why you have to escape PODCONF and enter the intellectual silk road

Make sure to pack your nicest headphones, as well as an external batter to extend your ability to listen to podcasts beyond your phone battery

Yup, I think you get to a point where it's like, "I'm not learning here anymore." The question is, will we ever reach this point at stacker news? ::rubbing chin emoji::
I think if so, I'm still a long ways off...

Rookie numbers. Should be listening to bitcoin pods during at least 80% of waking hours. It's the 80/20 rule. 80 bit pods, 20 not bit pods.

I'm not a podcast listener at all. I've never listened any.

They are extremely speculative without concrete information
