This takes 10–15 minutes to really warm up, but it covers a lot of excellent ground. It gets into some nitty-gritty finance stuff, but if you don’t understand a segment, keep listening and it will usually segue within a few minutes. Here’s the episode description: “The price of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have been moving sideways for a while. But it doesn’t seem like there’s any slowdown in terms of money entering the space. Every day, some new fund is being launched or some legacy financial institution is diving into it. But what’s all this money going to do? On this episode, we speak with [Sam Bankman-Fried]() ([@sbf_ftx](=)), the CEO and co-founder of FTX, as well as Bloomberg Opinion columnist [Matt Levine]() ([@matt_levine](=)) about the moneymaking opportunities that people are exploiting, whether it’s directional bets on coins or yield farming or arbitrage, and how much potential profit there is for the taking.”   What I’m preparing for you all To celebrate the 15th anniversary of [The 4-Hour Workweek](), which was first published on April 24th, 2007 (4/24/07), I am signing and giving away 424 copies of the book!

And I don’t mean sentimentality. I don’t mean mush. I mean having enough courage to stand up and say, ‘I forgive. I’m finished with it.’”​ — [Maya Angelou​ ​](​   ​ And, as always, please give me feedback on Twitter. Which bullet above is your favorite? What do you want more or less of? Other suggestions?
