I follow 24 podcasts, 14 are Bitcoin podcasts. I listen to all them at 1.5-1.7 speed because sometimes there is too much content to cover. But the last 2 nights I have been without content to listen to after 4pm! I’m loosing my mind 🤣 🤪 but I know I can never go back to the 50-60 podcast lineup I was consuming 4 years ago at 2.0 speed 🤣 it’s times like this that I wish I could watch a mindless sitcom or movie or sportsball like a normie 🤣 But that will NEVER EVER happen again 🤦♂️
