A highlight on the treasure side of the 3T’s.
In Ep #37 I am covering how McIntosh implements v4v on his show ‘Generational Wealth With Cryptocurrency’. The unique aspect he brings is his strong stance on not accepting advertising nor sponsorships and why this is a draw for you to contribute value to his show. He also highlights the overlap between the fundamentals of crypto and the amazing work being done with Podcasting 2.0.
A big shoutout to Petar The Bitcoiner, AbleKirby, This Is The Future and all the amazing people who streamed sats this week, probably a bunch of diamond hand chads!

A highlight on the treasureside of the three TS. Welcome, dear friends,to another episode of the Value for Value show. My name is Kyrin, hostof the Mere Mortals and Mere MortalsBook Reviews Podcast. But I also run this onewhere I dive deep into other people'spodcasts and see how they are implementing the valuefor value model. So in particular, the valuefor value model emphasises the directness of peerto peer transactions between you and your audience viathe content, or for the contentthat you are creating. And I realise I've neglectedfor a long time. Why? It is interestingthat Bitcoin fits into this and why there is some valueto Bitcoin.
So today we are examining generational wealthwith crypto currency and this is by a guycalled Mcintosh. So I'm going to readdirectly his little bio here. The generational wealthwith cryptocurrency podcast is about how you can createlong term wealth by investingin cryptocurrencies. This podcastis for the beginner with no experiencein the crypto or the person who is looking for a different perspectivebeyond day trading. And then in particular,if I go over to his website, he also has cryptocurrencyis one of the great paradigm shifts of the 21st century.
It will provide innovationas well as unparalleled, life changing opportunityto create wealth. This doesn't have to be donethrough highly stressful and potentiallyvery risky day trading. Very good. I like to see that thoughtfulinvesting in quality crypto with long term potentially can change your lifeas well as the financial future of your family. Join me on this journey and then he'sgot another section here, how he's talkingabout how he started in 2014 got slightly wrecked. Looking at you, Mt. Gox and scams and hacksand whatnot, but has made many mistakesover the years and one wants to providehow he has made some life changing,I guess generational wealth with cryptocurrencies.
So that is all very good. He started this showabout in August of 2021 and was doing a weekly show for a while, but I believe it's up to two twice a week now and is getting closeto 70 episodes and the average length of itcan kind of varies. It's usuallyaround the 45 minutes, but sometimes it's more,sometimes it's less. There's no direct,I suppose, of format for whathe will really stick to. It's usually himjust speaking as well. I believe I've seen one episode in that whole bunchwhere he had another guest on, but usually it isjust him and he prepares and edits it a touch,but it is mostly freeform.
That's not to say he doesn't have notes andthings like that, but it is I suppose,not strictly structured to the exact detailand point. He also, for the sectionsthat he has generally he'll have I guess,news of the week talking about chartsfrom the week as well. So you know, Bitcoin numberwent up, number went down. He will generally have a particular topic and so I can just read outsome of them here, such as Self-Custody 1 to 1or you'll write to financial privacyor what is the market doing? Bull Bear cat. Simple math and bitcoin is bitcoin badfor the environment, etc.
etc. etc.. And then he'll also havea support section, a value for valuepitch at the end. And yeah, that'sI suppose the, the main thingsthat he's got going on. So I'll play a little bit of a clip here,which is from his, one of his recent episodescalled It's A Dilemma to the Limit. It's a dilemma securespeed and decentralisation, and this is justright from the start so you can get a feel forwhat his voice sounds like.

It's August 29thand this is episode 69 of Generational Wealthof Cryptocurrency. I'm your host, Mcintosh. Today we'regoing to be talking about the three legged stool of the blockchain and I'm Hey, everyone. No one on this podcast is a financial advisorand all information presented on this podcast isfor informational purposes. All right, let's jump on in. Hope. Everybody's had a good week. I want to revisitthe Blockchain Trilemma. This was popularisedby Vitalik, who's creator of Etherium, and he basically says that there'sthree different challenges that you face when buildinga blockchain product such as Bitcoin or Ethereum orany of these other products.
And you really can't doall three super well. So you have to makecompromises. In other words,and I've certainly seen products say, Oh, we can doall of these. And, and it invariably turnsout that that's not true. So we will betalking about that tonight. We'll talk about the market. It has been a week, a weekwhere we've gone down quite consistent, unfortunately,unless you're buying, which I certainly hopethat you are.
[00:05:39] Unknown:
So that's a taste ofthe great Mcintosh himself. And I'm going to add like a little bit of a personal part here just on what I thoughtof the podcast in general, which was I generally agree with the fundamentalsthat he holds. So for most of these things, it's kind ofdecentralisation. This is critical. Above all else, diversitysort of being a maxi is is flirting with dangerif you're putting all your eggs in one basket. That is quite riskybehaviour. Reality. Not everything can be done on one blockchain,so most of them have a particular thingthey're trying to do.
So Bitcoin, for example, is trying to be a currencyand as only a currency. This is a pointI kind of make a lot, which is although others might have aspects of currenciesthat that Bitcoin is really the only onewhich has the kind of fundamental valuesof, of what a currency is or the characteristicsI should maybe say. Yeah. And then just in general,you know, seeing as your friend price predictions are rather dumb. So even though he looksat the market, I don't believehe really tries to make price predictions,which is always a smart move and generaljust topics like this.
So he really does go into a lot of different aspects and most of the time ofthe show is not spent talking about priceor number go up or number go down,which is honestly the most boringthings about the stuff that's more about how can this changethe world? What problemsare these solving? What are the incentives of humans, and how does this alignwith them, not align with them,those sorts of things. I'm going to jump downto his value for value implementation sectionand generally he does, I suppose,what a lot of the other shows I've covered.
So he has a Boostagramsection, so he did fine. Podcasting 2.0 and I'll be playing a little section from thata little bit later, but he has a leaderboardsomewhere. I actually wasn't ableto see that on this site. So viewing that, I suppose in terms of mecoming in and me boosting, not knowing exactly where toto see that is, I'd say a slightdistraction. It a definitely is betterif you can have that more visible. And thankfully there are some cool productscoming out like set earn and a connection with the Alby Wallet, which you canhighlight these things. So I supposea little bit more easily.
But he doesunderstand the numerology. He reads out the streaming amounts as well,which is possible. I haven't actually bothered to do thatwith any of my shows, but that is possible to doif you if you dive into the data,which I thought was cool and he spenta little bit of time when he actually respondingto the boostagram. So I'm going to play a little bit of a section herewhich was from the episode Bitcoin as a solutionfor climate change. And this was aroundabout the 22 minute mark and I might even jumpa little bit within it as well,because there's a couple of thingsI wanted to highlight.
[00:08:44] Unknown:
So next we're goingto talk about support and it's been a great week. I really appreciatethe people who stepped up. I think a lot of thishad to do with this being my one yearanniversary, so maybe just stickingaround counts for something, but I really appreciate it. So we'vegot a few boost here. There was some streaminggoing on as well. Going back to Self-Custodyone on one. The Mere Mortals podcast had this to say. They senta boost of 1100 said. So thank you very much. And it said,I think the most important part about Self-Custody is understandingresponsibility and trust.
Most people know that the cash in their walletis their responsibility and that the money in theirbank is by and large secured by their governmentin developed countries. But cryptoexchanges and defi companies leavinganything with them is like leaving your walletwith your friends. Friends there's teensyreputational trust, but geez, that's not worthmuch. And I do agree with that. Maybe a little less about the securityof your money in the bank. Hello Cyprus. If you don't rememberthat, go look it up. But by and large,I certainly do agree with this right.
I'm not too worried about the money in my creditunion, my bank account. I'm not worried aboutthe money in my wallet. I know that it'smy response ability. But the crypto exchanges, the defi companies like all this Terra Luna debacle, you know I it's scaryand it is actually reputationalin a sense. And a lot of these companies are losing their reputationsright now because of their actions. So anywaysappreciate it again and thanks for the booston it's a little dilemma security,speed and decentralisation. We had a couple of booststhree actually. Again, Mere Mortalspodcast, Congrats on the first anniversarymate.
And he set 2200 SATsusing fountain. I don't know whyit says using fountain. I'm sure he did. I don't know whythat was stuck in there. I've asked him actually to review the podcastfor one of the podcasts that they do. I reached out to him early in the weekand so he's been very kind. He's listenedto a couple of episodes. I think he'sgot some more to listen to, and he says they'll be covering thatin a few weeks, so I'm looking forwardto that. Janine Jam sent 1980 SATs. I did notice actually, Jenny was up to second placeon our leaderboard, by the way, part of my export show'stotal SATs per person.
Not sureif that includes stream. I think that's justboost, actually. But Ginny's been a regular and solidsupporter of the podcast. I really appreciate that. And I believe this issupposed to be Jim Siefert. I hope I got that right. I'm just going by the handlehere. So, Jim, I got youthree boost That was from a No Agenda listenerand that's why it's 33. That's funny. I've never actuallydiscussed that on this podcast, but they consider that to be 33is like a magic number. It's not reallywhat they mean. But anyways, it's one of thenumerology things they do. And then this is froma little bit later in the episode as well.Right towards the end.
GWC supports podcasting 2.0. It's a Valuefor value podcast. Of course,we don't have any sponsors, we don't have anyadvertisers. You're never going to hearan ad on this. And I do not get sponsors even though people reach outto me all the time. You can support the podcastin three ways by time, talentand treasure. If you want tosupport the podcast and have some timeor talent, I could use some helpwith things like chaptersfor the podcast transcripts and probably a few otherthings. Treasuresexactly what it sounds like. If youfind the content valuable, you can support the podcast by streaming statsfrom a podcasting 2.0 app or sending supportvia PayPal to Macintosh engine wealth. Crypto.com.
You can get a podcasting 2.0app for the optimal listening experience, andso you can stream or boost SAT at new podcast outcome. Of course,I've been playing around for quite a while now with the FountainApp among the beta group. For that they are innovatingvery rapidly. I really like what'sgoing on with the podcasting 2.0 apps.
[00:13:41] Unknown:
Okay, quite a few thingsto highlight from there. So number one wasyou could see his pitch waspretty polished and on point definitely knewwhat he was going to say and had practised thatbefore. And what was encouragingwas considering his as a crypto podcastwas that he wasn't just highlighting the trezorpart of the three T's, which would make absolute sense,but also was showing, okay, you know,there are time and talent and the he had a direct way thatyou could do it as well. This would be viachapters and transcripts, which is what he waslooking for and doesn'thave particularly the time or maybe even the talentneeded to work on this.
What was also coolwas his recognise edition, I guess, of the overlapbetween what a crypto asset is trying to doand what podcasting 2.0 is trying to do. And there's very manysimilarities between the two and both of them concerned about decentralisationof your podcasting medium. So this has been maybethe most free speech aspect and then your ability to transact financially inthis would be the crypto part of it and the mechanismsthat you can do with this. There, there are quite a few overlaps between thisand I might in future link to a talkthat I'm going to do about the value for value model and its intersectionwith podcasting 2.0 and how there areso many similarities.
So that might have to waitfor til the next season. I guess. So with all that being said, there wasanother aspect there which was getting us ontothe Something Unique sectionand which was his, I suppose,really strong stance on. He would not be acceptingadvertising or sponsorships. He mentions this quite a few timesbefore and in particular, if you're going to an episode called Streaming SATs Preparing for the Bear,he had this one little quote which I loved,which is he finds it offensive, he finds advertisingoffensive, which is so, so far upmy alley.
That is exactly how I feel. I in the past have used an analogy of imagineif you're riding a bus and the driver just stoppedevery now and then, got up to the front and then started talkingabout a mattress or this cool new toothpastethat he's been using. And you would just go,What the fuck? I'm just tryingto get from point A to B, I don't need this. Why is this beingwhy is this happening? That's exactly how I feelabout advertising. But in particular, I'm going to playanother section here, which was from an episodeof his called The Value for Value ModelPodcasting 2.0, and it's actually cut offthis last little section here,so I can't see that.
But this was from aroundthe four minute 38 mark and thelast was and crypto day. So this was from the for around the four minute38 mark and just his general thoughtson this advertising and his I suppose strong stanceagainst why he in particular will not have advertiserssaying and sponsorships.
[00:16:50] Unknown:
The issue with both of those advertisingand sponsorships. Let's just camp out therefor a second. When you have an advertiseror a sponsor, you also have expectationsthat that advertiser or sponsor has. They want youto bring a certain message. They want you to bring itin a certain manner, they want a certain image. And if you do something that doesn't fitthe objectives of the advertiser, then you may find yourselfwithout the advertiser. And a lot of peoplewill say things like, Well, I'm objecting live,or it doesn't matter who my advertisers is,I don't change.
You know what I say? I would say that maybeis true, but maybe it's not. Even if it's subconscious. If somebody paid me $10,000to promote some token, do you think I'm going tobe excited about that token? You're darn tootin I'm going to be excitedabout that token. You keep sending me $10,000every time I, I shill that token and Iwill absolutely be excited. I'll stand on my head. I'm so excited. Right. So, yeah, I thinkthat changes perceptions. It can, I guess,depend on the subject. But speaking about cryptowith crypto, I think we have ajournalistic responsibility.
Does that make sense? I'm not a journalist,but and I have bias and when I do,I what I know about a bias. I admit to that as part ofas part of my discussion. I don't want to hide that. I have a bias forBitcoin and Ethereum, right? I don't spend a lotof time and in that piece because maybe I don't understand themas well as other people do. But if I'm open about that,that's okay. If I hide that, well,then I'm not I'm not portraying a true picture. And if I have a large audienceand somebody is paying me, you know, again, $10,000to shill some NFT as an example, it probably wouldn't matter what my biaswas, I'd be like, This is the best thingsince peanut butter.
So we had to be very carefulabout that. And I don't ever want to call people out about thator say that that's wrong. That is up to the individual to decide. But I do think it'simportant that as a consumer of this information,that we keep that in mind, that it is possiblethat advertise, teasing or sponsorshipwill change the way that that somebodyis viewing something.
[00:19:43] Unknown:
Darn tootinabsolutely darn tootin. So I this issomewhat inspired me because in my show and in particularthe Mere Mortals podcast, whilst I talk about this,while I whilst I have mentioned my dislikefor advertising and sponsorshipquite a few times before, I don't thinkI've really gotten into it deep enough and perhapseven often enough about why it is that the value for valuemodel is so much better now. I think it is morethe transparency more than anything else,because look, you're going to be influencedno matter what. Every interactionyou have is somewhat an influence and you can't, you know, show all of these.
If I was, I don't know, hurtby a guy wearing a Colgate shirtand well, whilst on the topic of toothpaste, if I was hurt by a guywearing a Colgate shirt, you know, maybe I would talk about badlyabout Colgate and there would besome negative memories attached with that. And this could, you know, show up in some of my showsat some point. Now, do I have the ability to showcaseevery single interaction I've had like thatin my life? No, no, that's not possible. So I could somewhatsee if you were using advertisementsand sponsorship and you perhaps do somewhatwhat you do with the value for value model,which is you list out every single one of them,maybe even how much they're well, maybe even especiallyhow much they're paying.
So you can get a real feelfor like, Oh, okay, yeah, I'm getting 10,000 bucksfrom, from this, this brand. And funnily enough,you know what? Like that that guy isthat guy's never really said anything badabout that brand before him. Okay, well, I guessit kind of makes sense. So I'd say it's just morethe transparency aspect is, is what I would,would highlight and what I what I hope to highlight. And I'm going to be doinga full episode on this in, I believe, episode332 of the Mere Mortals podcast aboutabout these sort of ethics and whyI feel it's so important, but I think it can bequite a draw for your own value for value.
So if you're if you'reyou know, maybe finding that people aren'tcontributing as much, whether it be in time,talent or treasure, you know, all of them, if you can give them reasonsfor why they should contribute back and perhaps why your show is a little bitunique, why it is special and why you have this strong stanceand why you need their help. Because if you do take advertisingand sponsorships, it is going to become beholden on you. And whether it be inmentally front of mind or perhapsin your subconscious, like Mcintosh mentioned,that you are going to say or notsay things and honestly, I would rather, you know, have that kindof decentralised out via a huge amount of peoplelistening and supporting rather than onperhaps one or two big companies, which is tends towhat happen become what happens.
Because if not thenyou have 15 minutes of ads which, you know, some shows somehow manageto get away with. I honestly don't knowhow they do that and still havean audience, people I don't know, maybe peoplelike advertising, who knows? But in any case, I think that can be asome draw and like a cool draw and something uniquethat you can you can useand show in your show. So just a little sectionthere. And with all thatbeing said, this is a valuefor value show that will never have sponsorshipsnor advertising. So the way that you cansupport the show is by going and sending me a boostagram to showcase that and to highlight thatand to show you where my influencesare coming from, we're now going to go onto the Boostagram Lounge.
Welcometo the Value for Value Boostagram Lounge and taking a pageout of Mcintosh's book, I'm actually goingto do something I haven't done before, which is talking about streaming. So even though I haven't particularly mentionedthis before, there are people who stream it all the timeand so I can see here. So Spencer from Curiocaster streamed in now 4682. That's not nothing Peter with 4008Mary Oscar for 924 Lyceum So this is Martin Lindeskogfrom the Secular Foxhole podcast covered thatbefore I Satoshi with you with 64/5 Power Productions,48 Rasta Carla Vera 42 and a x W.K. Well, lovelydame with two.
Thank you. Thank you everyone. And then, you know, my favourite section,the actual boostagram And so starting from just not onlysmallest biggest but also first of last,we have this is the future. And he says, yes,this was on fire. Fire Emojithree exclamation marks. Thank you very much,my friend and I have seenyou popping up many times before, so I doappreciate your support. We've got Able Kirby,and this was through Curiocaster, the last one. Mr. Fountain. And he says, Kyrin, thanksfor the continued courage. That was because I coveredAblekraft and the very cool thingsthat they're doing with decentralised music.
Definitely recommendchecking out either Abelkraft or their album,which was called Stay a While by Able andThe Wolf definitely do that. And then Petar, who comes inI'm sorry, Able Kirby was 4839 and thenPeter with a big 13,750. Thank you, my friends, of the very generousand lovely Petar. He says Love Season two. Kyrin, go aheadand take a well-deserved extended break and off Season threeeventually comes together. You definitely have at leastone listener Smiley face. Thanks so much, Petar. I really do appreciateyour support, man. And it does does make a big differencehaving all of these come in.
And, you know, it's so gratifying to have found value for value model. I remember when I first really came across it,I had sleepless nights. I was justthinking about it. My mind was racing. It would take ajust think about value for value for half an hour. And that's probably one ofthe first times in my life that's actually happenedto be honest, that that an ideahas captured me so greatly. You know,I love podcasting 2.0. I love the abilityfor chapters and extending RSSand all of those things, but I think it'sthe value of a value model, which is, which is really captured me and hence why I createda whole damn show on it.
So with that being said,my little value for value ask for this week and maybeeven just a section on the the news as well. Not only that, even though I said itright at the start, I have somewhat neglectedthe aspect of why I appreciate these valuecoming through in sets. And I definitely would say,you know, check out Generational wealth,cryptocurrency. I, I've found ita a good show. If it was a showall about price pumping and action and you know the market dynamicsand that sort of thing, I definitely wouldn'tbe interested in it. But I did, you know, is bangon with the fundamentals and I can definitely saythat you will learn some things about Bitcoinif you are a beginner.
And thankfullythis is a beginner show. So definitely that. The other portionI just want to mention and I mentioned this last week was I'm goingto be wrapping up season to a many,many reasons for this. One is I just want to createsome more time for myself and I feel like I'm sort of coming towardsthe end of this. It feels like a naturaldraw towards the end. I definitely have someideas for a Season three, such as highlightingparticular aspects of the podcasting 2.0. So new namespace thingshow you can use the new tags as a podcast are probably still doinghighlighting of shows, but maybe not as in-depth as I have donefor this last season to but I'm always opento suggestions as well.
And this podcastwill remain online, so I'll definitely be taking a couple of months break. I'm not exactly surehow long, but I will make sure to. Well, you'll just have to follow the Mere Mortalsand you'll know then when I'm starting upseason two, because that showwill not be stopping. And yeah, that'll bejust my request I suppose. So if you could, you know, one of the reasons I do forthis show is somewhat as a feeder showfor the mere mortals. So if you likethe ideas that I talk about, if you like howI don't know, just my, my general voice and the thingsI think about.
If you findany of these interesting, you'll get plentymore of that over on the The Mere Mortals podcastand to a certain extent the Mere Mortals bookreviews as well, because thoseboth of those feed into each otherand play off of each other. And I really do hope you'vebeen having a fantastic day wherever you arein the world, stacking those sats and creating some wealththrough, through one cryptocurrency andthe rest of crypto assets. That's how I always view it. And yeah, I really dohope you're doing well. And until theI'll do one more episode. So the last announcementhere, the final episode for seasontwo will be next week and then I'll begoing on a break.
So until next week,my friends, my dear crypto cryptofriends across the world, I really doappreciate your support and I hope you havea fantastic day. Finish it off Kyrin, Come on.
A highlight on the treasureside of the three TS. Welcome, dear friends,to another episode of the Value for Value show. My name is Kyrin, hostof the Mere Mortals and Mere MortalsBook Reviews Podcast.

So that is all very good.

He also, for the sectionsthat he has generally he'll have I guess,news of the week talking about chartsfrom the week as well. So you know, Bitcoin numberwent up, number went down. He will generally have a particular topic and so I can just read outsome of them here, such as Self-Custody 1 to 1or you'll write to financial privacyor what is the market doing? Bull Bear cat. Simple math and bitcoin is bitcoin badfor the environment, etc.
etc. etc.. And then he'll also havea support section, a value for valuepitch at the end. And yeah, that'sI suppose the, the main thingsthat he's got going on.

I'm going to jump downto his value for value implementation sectionand generally he does, I suppose,what a lot of the other shows I've covered.
So he has a Boostagramsection, so he did fine. Podcasting 2.0 and I'll be playing a little section from thata little bit later, but he has a leaderboardsomewhere. I actually wasn't ableto see that on this site. So viewing that, I suppose in terms of mecoming in and me boosting, not knowing exactly where toto see that is, I'd say a slightdistraction. It a definitely is betterif you can have that more visible. And thankfully there are some cool productscoming out like set earn and a connection with the Alby Wallet, which you canhighlight these things. So I supposea little bit more easily.
But he doesunderstand the numerology. He reads out the streaming amounts as well,which is possible. I haven't actually bothered to do thatwith any of my shows, but that is possible to doif you if you dive into the data,which I thought was cool and he spenta little bit of time when he actually respondingto the boostagram. So I'm going to play a little bit of a section herewhich was from the episode Bitcoin as a solutionfor climate change. And this was aroundabout the 22 minute mark and I might even jumpa little bit within it as well,because there's a couple of thingsI wanted to highlight.

So next we're goingto talk about support and it's been a great week. I really appreciatethe people who stepped up. I think a lot of thishad to do with this being my one yearanniversary, so maybe just stickingaround counts for something, but I really appreciate it. So we'vegot a few boost here. There was some streaminggoing on as well. Going back to Self-Custodyone on one. The Mere Mortals podcast had this to say. They senta boost of 1100 said. So thank you very much. And it said,I think the most important part about Self-Custody is understandingresponsibility and trust.
Most people know that the cash in their walletis their responsibility and that the money in theirbank is by and large secured by their governmentin developed countries. But cryptoexchanges and defi companies leavinganything with them is like leaving your walletwith your friends. Friends there's teensyreputational trust, but geez, that's not worthmuch. And I do agree with that. Maybe a little less about the securityof your money in the bank. Hello Cyprus. If you don't rememberthat, go look it up. But by and large,I certainly do agree with this right.
I'm not too worried about the money in my creditunion, my bank account. I'm not worried aboutthe money in my wallet. I know that it'smy response ability. But the crypto exchanges, the defi companies like all this Terra Luna debacle, you know I it's scaryand it is actually reputationalin a sense. And a lot of these companies are losing their reputationsright now because of their actions. So anywaysappreciate it again and thanks for the booston it's a little dilemma security,speed and decentralisation. We had a couple of booststhree actually. Again, Mere Mortalspodcast, Congrats on the first anniversarymate.
And he set 2200 SATsusing fountain. I don't know whyit says using fountain. I'm sure he did. I don't know whythat was stuck in there. I've asked him actually to review the podcastfor one of the podcasts that they do. I reached out to him early in the weekand so he's been very kind. He's listenedto a couple of episodes. I think he'sgot some more to listen to, and he says they'll be covering thatin a few weeks, so I'm looking forwardto that. Janine Jam sent 1980 SATs. I did notice actually, Jenny was up to second placeon our leaderboard, by the way, part of my export show'stotal SATs per person.
Not sureif that includes stream. I think that's justboost, actually. But Ginny's been a regular and solidsupporter of the podcast. I really appreciate that. And I believe this issupposed to be Jim Siefert. I hope I got that right. I'm just going by the handlehere. So, Jim, I got youthree boost That was from a No Agenda listenerand that's why it's 33. That's funny. I've never actuallydiscussed that on this podcast, but they consider that to be 33is like a magic number. It's not reallywhat they mean. But anyways, it's one of thenumerology things they do. And then this is froma little bit later in the episode as well.Right towards the end.
GWC supports podcasting 2.0. It's a Valuefor value podcast. Of course,we don't have any sponsors, we don't have anyadvertisers. You're never going to hearan ad on this. And I do not get sponsors even though people reach outto me all the time. You can support the podcastin three ways by time, talentand treasure. If you want tosupport the podcast and have some timeor talent, I could use some helpwith things like chaptersfor the podcast transcripts and probably a few otherthings. Treasuresexactly what it sounds like. If youfind the content valuable, you can support the podcast by streaming statsfrom a podcasting 2.0 app or sending supportvia PayPal to Macintosh engine wealth. Crypto.com.
You can get a podcasting 2.0app for the optimal listening experience, andso you can stream or boost SAT at new podcast outcome. Of course,I've been playing around for quite a while now with the FountainApp among the beta group. For that they are innovatingvery rapidly. I really like what'sgoing on with the podcasting 2.0 apps.
[00:13:41] Unknown:
Okay, quite a few thingsto highlight from there. So number one wasyou could see his pitch waspretty polished and on point definitely knewwhat he was going to say and had practised thatbefore. And what was encouragingwas considering his as a crypto podcastwas that he wasn't just highlighting the trezorpart of the three T's, which would make absolute sense,but also was showing, okay, you know,there are time and talent and the he had a direct way thatyou could do it as well. This would be viachapters and transcripts, which is what he waslooking for and doesn'thave particularly the time or maybe even the talentneeded to work on this.
What was also coolwas his recognise edition, I guess, of the overlapbetween what a crypto asset is trying to doand what podcasting 2.0 is trying to do. And there's very manysimilarities between the two and both of them concerned about decentralisationof your podcasting medium. So this has been maybethe most free speech aspect and then your ability to transact financially inthis would be the crypto part of it and the mechanismsthat you can do with this. There, there are quite a few overlaps between thisand I might in future link to a talkthat I'm going to do about the value for value model and its intersectionwith podcasting 2.0 and how there areso many similarities.
So that might have to waitfor til the next season. I guess. So with all that being said, there wasanother aspect there which was getting us ontothe Something Unique sectionand which was his, I suppose,really strong stance on. He would not be acceptingadvertising or sponsorships. He mentions this quite a few timesbefore and in particular, if you're going to an episode called Streaming SATs Preparing for the Bear,he had this one little quote which I loved,which is he finds it offensive, he finds advertisingoffensive, which is so, so far upmy alley.
That is exactly how I feel. I in the past have used an analogy of imagineif you're riding a bus and the driver just stoppedevery now and then, got up to the front and then started talkingabout a mattress or this cool new toothpastethat he's been using. And you would just go,What the fuck? I'm just tryingto get from point A to B, I don't need this. Why is this beingwhy is this happening? That's exactly how I feelabout advertising. But in particular, I'm going to playanother section here, which was from an episodeof his called The Value for Value ModelPodcasting 2.0, and it's actually cut offthis last little section here,so I can't see that.
But this was from aroundthe four minute 38 mark and thelast was and crypto day. So this was from the for around the four minute38 mark and just his general thoughtson this advertising and his I suppose strong stanceagainst why he in particular will not have advertiserssaying and sponsorships.
[00:16:50] Unknown:
The issue with both of those advertisingand sponsorships. Let's just camp out therefor a second. When you have an advertiseror a sponsor, you also have expectationsthat that advertiser or sponsor has. They want youto bring a certain message. They want you to bring itin a certain manner, they want a certain image. And if you do something that doesn't fitthe objectives of the advertiser, then you may find yourselfwithout the advertiser. And a lot of peoplewill say things like, Well, I'm objecting live,or it doesn't matter who my advertisers is,I don't change.
You know what I say? I would say that maybeis true, but maybe it's not. Even if it's subconscious. If somebody paid me $10,000to promote some token, do you think I'm going tobe excited about that token? You're darn tootin I'm going to be excitedabout that token. You keep sending me $10,000every time I, I shill that token and Iwill absolutely be excited. I'll stand on my head. I'm so excited. Right. So, yeah, I thinkthat changes perceptions. It can, I guess,depend on the subject. But speaking about cryptowith crypto, I think we have ajournalistic responsibility.
Does that make sense? I'm not a journalist,but and I have bias and when I do,I what I know about a bias. I admit to that as part ofas part of my discussion. I don't want to hide that. I have a bias forBitcoin and Ethereum, right? I don't spend a lotof time and in that piece because maybe I don't understand themas well as other people do. But if I'm open about that,that's okay. If I hide that, well,then I'm not I'm not portraying a true picture. And if I have a large audienceand somebody is paying me, you know, again, $10,000to shill some NFT as an example, it probably wouldn't matter what my biaswas, I'd be like, This is the best thingsince peanut butter.
So we had to be very carefulabout that. And I don't ever want to call people out about thator say that that's wrong. That is up to the individual to decide. But I do think it'simportant that as a consumer of this information,that we keep that in mind, that it is possiblethat advertise, teasing or sponsorshipwill change the way that that somebodyis viewing something.
[00:19:43] Unknown:
Darn tootinabsolutely darn tootin. So I this issomewhat inspired me because in my show and in particularthe Mere Mortals podcast, whilst I talk about this,while I whilst I have mentioned my dislikefor advertising and sponsorshipquite a few times before, I don't thinkI've really gotten into it deep enough and perhapseven often enough about why it is that the value for valuemodel is so much better now. I think it is morethe transparency more than anything else,because look, you're going to be influencedno matter what. Every interactionyou have is somewhat an influence and you can't, you know, show all of these.
If I was, I don't know, hurtby a guy wearing a Colgate shirtand well, whilst on the topic of toothpaste, if I was hurt by a guywearing a Colgate shirt, you know, maybe I would talk about badlyabout Colgate and there would besome negative memories attached with that. And this could, you know, show up in some of my showsat some point. Now, do I have the ability to showcaseevery single interaction I've had like thatin my life? No, no, that's not possible. So I could somewhatsee if you were using advertisementsand sponsorship and you perhaps do somewhatwhat you do with the value for value model,which is you list out every single one of them,maybe even how much they're well, maybe even especiallyhow much they're paying.
So you can get a real feelfor like, Oh, okay, yeah, I'm getting 10,000 bucksfrom, from this, this brand. And funnily enough,you know what? Like that that guy isthat guy's never really said anything badabout that brand before him. Okay, well, I guessit kind of makes sense. So I'd say it's just morethe transparency aspect is, is what I would,would highlight and what I what I hope to highlight. And I'm going to be doinga full episode on this in, I believe, episode332 of the Mere Mortals podcast aboutabout these sort of ethics and whyI feel it's so important, but I think it can bequite a draw for your own value for value.
So if you're if you'reyou know, maybe finding that people aren'tcontributing as much, whether it be in time,talent or treasure, you know, all of them, if you can give them reasonsfor why they should contribute back and perhaps why your show is a little bitunique, why it is special and why you have this strong stanceand why you need their help. Because if you do take advertisingand sponsorships, it is going to become beholden on you. And whether it be inmentally front of mind or perhapsin your subconscious, like Mcintosh mentioned,that you are going to say or notsay things and honestly, I would rather, you know, have that kindof decentralised out via a huge amount of peoplelistening and supporting rather than onperhaps one or two big companies, which is tends towhat happen become what happens.
Because if not thenyou have 15 minutes of ads which, you know, some shows somehow manageto get away with. I honestly don't knowhow they do that and still havean audience, people I don't know, maybe peoplelike advertising, who knows? But in any case, I think that can be asome draw and like a cool draw and something uniquethat you can you can useand show in your show. So just a little sectionthere. And with all thatbeing said, this is a valuefor value show that will never have sponsorshipsnor advertising. So the way that you cansupport the show is by going and sending me a boostagram to showcase that and to highlight thatand to show you where my influencesare coming from, we're now going to go onto the Boostagram Lounge.
Welcometo the Value for Value Boostagram Lounge and taking a pageout of Mcintosh's book, I'm actually goingto do something I haven't done before, which is talking about streaming. So even though I haven't particularly mentionedthis before, there are people who stream it all the timeand so I can see here. So Spencer from Curiocaster streamed in now 4682. That's not nothing Peter with 4008Mary Oscar for 924 Lyceum So this is Martin Lindeskogfrom the Secular Foxhole podcast covered thatbefore I Satoshi with you with 64/5 Power Productions,48 Rasta Carla Vera 42 and a x W.K. Well, lovelydame with two.
Thank you. Thank you everyone. And then, you know, my favourite section,the actual boostagram And so starting from just not onlysmallest biggest but also first of last,we have this is the future. And he says, yes,this was on fire. Fire Emojithree exclamation marks. Thank you very much,my friend and I have seenyou popping up many times before, so I doappreciate your support. We've got Able Kirby,and this was through Curiocaster, the last one. Mr. Fountain. And he says, Kyrin, thanksfor the continued courage. That was because I coveredAblekraft and the very cool thingsthat they're doing with decentralised music.
Definitely recommendchecking out either Abelkraft or their album,which was called Stay a While by Able andThe Wolf definitely do that. And then Petar, who comes inI'm sorry, Able Kirby was 4839 and thenPeter with a big 13,750. Thank you, my friends, of the very generousand lovely Petar. He says Love Season two. Kyrin, go aheadand take a well-deserved extended break and off Season threeeventually comes together. You definitely have at leastone listener Smiley face. Thanks so much, Petar. I really do appreciateyour support, man. And it does does make a big differencehaving all of these come in.
And, you know, it's so gratifying to have found value for value model. I remember when I first really came across it,I had sleepless nights. I was justthinking about it. My mind was racing. It would take ajust think about value for value for half an hour. And that's probably one ofthe first times in my life that's actually happenedto be honest, that that an ideahas captured me so greatly. You know,I love podcasting 2.0. I love the abilityfor chapters and extending RSSand all of those things, but I think it'sthe value of a value model, which is, which is really captured me and hence why I createda whole damn show on it.
So with that being said,my little value for value ask for this week and maybeeven just a section on the the news as well. Not only that, even though I said itright at the start, I have somewhat neglectedthe aspect of why I appreciate these valuecoming through in sets. And I definitely would say,you know, check out Generational wealth,cryptocurrency. I, I've found ita a good show. If it was a showall about price pumping and action and you know the market dynamicsand that sort of thing, I definitely wouldn'tbe interested in it. But I did, you know, is bangon with the fundamentals and I can definitely saythat you will learn some things about Bitcoinif you are a beginner.
And thankfullythis is a beginner show. So definitely that. The other portionI just want to mention and I mentioned this last week was I'm goingto be wrapping up season to a many,many reasons for this. One is I just want to createsome more time for myself and I feel like I'm sort of coming towardsthe end of this. It feels like a naturaldraw towards the end. I definitely have someideas for a Season three, such as highlightingparticular aspects of the podcasting 2.0. So new namespace thingshow you can use the new tags as a podcast are probably still doinghighlighting of shows, but maybe not as in-depth as I have donefor this last season to but I'm always opento suggestions as well.
And this podcastwill remain online, so I'll definitely be taking a couple of months break. I'm not exactly surehow long, but I will make sure to. Well, you'll just have to follow the Mere Mortalsand you'll know then when I'm starting upseason two, because that showwill not be stopping. And yeah, that'll bejust my request I suppose. So if you could, you know, one of the reasons I do forthis show is somewhat as a feeder showfor the mere mortals. So if you likethe ideas that I talk about, if you like howI don't know, just my, my general voice and the thingsI think about.
If you findany of these interesting, you'll get plentymore of that over on the The Mere Mortals podcastand to a certain extent the Mere Mortals bookreviews as well, because thoseboth of those feed into each otherand play off of each other. And I really do hope you'vebeen having a fantastic day wherever you arein the world, stacking those sats and creating some wealththrough, through one cryptocurrency andthe rest of crypto assets. That's how I always view it. And yeah, I really dohope you're doing well. And until theI'll do one more episode. So the last announcementhere, the final episode for seasontwo will be next week and then I'll begoing on a break.
So until next week,my friends, my dear crypto cryptofriends across the world, I really doappreciate your support and I hope you havea fantastic day. Finish it off Kyrin, Come on.
