PETE BUI | Staking With A Stakepool Operator, Learn Cardano Podcast & Aussie Crypto Talk

Do you want to know more about the Cardano Blockchain and the process of staking with a stakepool operator (SPO)?
In Conversation #64 Pete and I discuss: the purpose of the Cardano cryptocurrency, the idea behind staking/delegation, how to run a stakepool, Australia's position with regard to crypto, his old Joomla Beat and new Learn Cardano podcasts, how you can create a vibrant community and some fun stuff around backflips and travelling.
I hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are in the world, Kyrin out!
