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 treasure side of the three TS. Welcome, dear friends, to another episode of the Value for Value show. My name is Kyrin, host of the Mere Mortals and Mere Mortals Book Reviews Podcast. But I also run this one where I dive deep into other people's podcasts and see how they are implementing the value for value model. So in particular, the value for value model emphasises the directness of peer to peer transactions between you and your audience via the content, or for the content that you are creating. And I realise I've neglected for a long time. Why?
It is interesting that Bitcoin fits into this and why there is some value to Bitcoin. So today we are examining generational wealth with crypto currency and this is by a guy called Mcintosh. So I'm going to read directly his little bio here. The generational wealth with cryptocurrency podcast is about how you can create long term wealth by investing in cryptocurrencies. This podcast is for the beginner with no experience in the crypto or the person who is looking for a different perspective beyond day trading. And then in particular, if I go over to his website, he also has cryptocurrency is one of the great paradigm shifts of the 21st century.
It will provide innovation as well as unparalleled, life changing opportunity to create wealth. This doesn't have to be done through highly stressful and potentially very risky day trading. Very good. I like to see that thoughtful investing in quality crypto with long term potentially can change your life as well as the financial future of your family. Join me on this journey and then he's got another section here, how he's talking about how he started in 2014 got slightly wrecked. Looking at you, Mt. Gox and scams and hacks and whatnot, but has made many mistakes over the years and one wants to provide how he has made some life changing, I guess generational wealth with cryptocurrencies.
So that is all very good. He started this show about 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 close to 70 episodes and the average length of it can kind of varies. It's usually around the 45 minutes, but sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less. There's no direct, I suppose, of format for what he will really stick to. It's usually him just speaking as well. I believe I've seen one episode in that whole bunch where he had another guest on, but usually it is just him and he prepares and edits it a touch, but it is mostly freeform.
That's not to say he doesn't have notes and things like that, but it is I suppose, not strictly structured to the exact detail and point. He also, for the sections that he has generally he'll have I guess, news of the week talking about charts from the week as well. So you know, Bitcoin number went up, number went down. He will generally have a particular topic and so I can just read out some of them here, such as Self-Custody 1 to 1 or you'll write to financial privacy or what is the market doing? Bull Bear cat. Simple math and bitcoin is bitcoin bad for the environment, etc.
etc. etc.. And then he'll also have a support section, a value for value pitch at the end. And yeah, that's I suppose the, the main things that he's got going on. So I'll play a little bit of a clip here, which is from his, one of his recent episodes called It's A Dilemma to the Limit. It's a dilemma secure speed and decentralisation, and this is just right from the start so you can get a feel for what his voice sounds like.
[00:03:47] Unknown:
It's August 29th and this is episode 69 of Generational Wealth of Cryptocurrency. I'm your host, Mcintosh. Today we're going to be talking about the three legged stool of the blockchain and I'm Hey, everyone. No one on this podcast is a financial advisor and all information presented on this podcast is for informational purposes. All right, let's jump on in. Hope. Everybody's had a good week. I want to revisit the Blockchain Trilemma. This was popularised by Vitalik, who's creator of Etherium, and he basically says that there's three different challenges that you face when building a blockchain product such as Bitcoin or Ethereum or any of these other products.
And you really can't do all three super well. So you have to make compromises. In other words, and I've certainly seen products say, Oh, we can do all of these. And, and it invariably turns out that that's not true. So we will be talking about that tonight. We'll talk about the market. It has been a week, a week where we've gone down quite consistent, unfortunately, unless you're buying, which I certainly hope that you are.
[00:05:39] Unknown:
So that's a taste of the great Mcintosh himself. And I'm going to add like a little bit of a personal part here just on what I thought of the podcast in general, which was I generally agree with the fundamentals that he holds. So for most of these things, it's kind of decentralisation. This is critical. Above all else, diversity sort of being a maxi is is flirting with danger if you're putting all your eggs in one basket. That is quite risky behaviour. Reality. Not everything can be done on one blockchain, so most of them have a particular thing they're trying to do.
So Bitcoin, for example, is trying to be a currency and as only a currency. This is a point I kind of make a lot, which is although others might have aspects of currencies that that Bitcoin is really the only one which has the kind of fundamental values of, of what a currency is or the characteristics I should maybe say. Yeah. And then just in general, you know, seeing as your friend price predictions are rather dumb. So even though he looks at the market, I don't believe he really tries to make price predictions, which is always a smart move and general just topics like this.
So he really does go into a lot of different aspects and most of the time of the show is not spent talking about price or number go up or number go down, which is honestly the most boring things about the stuff that's more about how can this change the world? What problems are these solving? What are the incentives of humans, and how does this align with them, not align with them, those sorts of things. I'm going to jump down to his value for value implementation section and generally he does, I suppose, what a lot of the other shows I've covered.
So he has a Boostagram section, so he did fine. Podcasting 2.0 and I'll be playing a little section from that a little bit later, but he has a leaderboard somewhere. I actually wasn't able to see that on this site. So viewing that, I suppose in terms of me coming in and me boosting, not knowing exactly where to to see that is, I'd say a slight distraction. It a definitely is better if you can have that more visible. And thankfully there are some cool products coming out like set earn and a connection with the Alby Wallet, which you can highlight these things.
So I suppose a little bit more easily. But he does understand the numerology. He reads out the streaming amounts as well, which is possible. I haven't actually bothered to do that with any of my shows, but that is possible to do if you if you dive into the data, which I thought was cool and he spent a little bit of time when he actually responding to the boostagram. So I'm going to play a little bit of a section here which was from the episode Bitcoin as a solution for climate change. And this was around about the 22 minute mark and I might even jump a little bit within it as well, because there's a couple of things I wanted to highlight.
[00:08:44] Unknown:
So next we're going to talk about support and it's been a great week. I really appreciate the people who stepped up. I think a lot of this had to do with this being my one year anniversary, so maybe just sticking around counts for something, but I really appreciate it. So we've got a few boost here. There was some streaming going on as well. Going back to Self-Custody one on one. The Mere Mortals podcast had this to say. They sent a boost of 1100 said. So thank you very much. And it said, I think the most important part about Self-Custody is understanding responsibility and trust.
Most people know that the cash in their wallet is their responsibility and that the money in their bank is by and large secured by their government in developed countries. But crypto exchanges and defi companies leaving anything with them is like leaving your wallet with your friends. Friends there's teensy reputational trust, but geez, that's not worth much. And I do agree with that. Maybe a little less about the security of your money in the bank. Hello Cyprus. If you don't remember that, 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 credit union, my bank account. I'm not worried about the money in my wallet. I know that it's my response ability. But the crypto exchanges, the defi companies like all this Terra Luna debacle, you know I it's scary and it is actually reputational in a sense. And a lot of these companies are losing their reputations right now because of their actions. So anyways appreciate it again and thanks for the boost on it's a little dilemma security, speed and decentralisation. We had a couple of boosts three actually.
Again, Mere Mortals podcast, Congrats on the first anniversary mate. And he set 2200 SATs using fountain. I don't know why it says using fountain. I'm sure he did. I don't know why that was stuck in there. I've asked him actually to review the podcast for one of the podcasts that they do. I reached out to him early in the week and so he's been very kind. He's listened to a couple of episodes. I think he's got some more to listen to, and he says they'll be covering that in a few weeks, so I'm looking forward to that. Janine Jam sent 1980 SATs.
I did notice actually, Jenny was up to second place on our leaderboard, by the way, part of my export show's total SATs per person. Not sure if that includes stream. I think that's just boost, actually. But Ginny's been a regular and solid supporter of the podcast. I really appreciate that. And I believe this is supposed to be Jim Siefert. I hope I got that right. I'm just going by the handle here. So, Jim, I got you three boost That was from a No Agenda listener and that's why it's 33. That's funny. I've never actually discussed that on this podcast, but they consider that to be 33 is like a magic number.
It's not really what they mean. But anyways, it's one of the numerology things they do. And then this is from a little bit later in the episode as well. Right towards the end. GWC supports podcasting 2.0. It's a Value for value podcast. Of course, we don't have any sponsors, we don't have any advertisers. You're never going to hear an ad on this. And I do not get sponsors even though people reach out to me all the time. You can support the podcast in three ways by time, talent and treasure. If you want to support the podcast and have some time or talent, I could use some help with things like chapters for the podcast transcripts and probably a few other things.
Treasures exactly what it sounds like. If you find the content valuable, you can support the podcast by streaming stats from a podcasting 2.0 app or sending support via PayPal to Macintosh engine wealth. Crypto.com. You can get a podcasting 2.0 app for the optimal listening experience, and so you can stream or boost SAT at new podcast outcome. Of course, I've been playing around for quite a while now with the Fountain App among the beta group. For that they are innovating very rapidly. I really like what's going on with the podcasting 2.0 apps.
[00:13:41] Unknown:
Okay, quite a few things to highlight from there. So number one was you could see his pitch was pretty polished and on point definitely knew what he was going to say and had practised that before. And what was encouraging was considering his as a crypto podcast was that he wasn't just highlighting the trezor part 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 that you could do it as well. This would be via chapters and transcripts, which is what he was looking for and doesn't have particularly the time or maybe even the talent needed to work on this.
What was also cool was his recognise edition, I guess, of the overlap between what a crypto asset is trying to do and what podcasting 2.0 is trying to do. And there's very many similarities between the two and both of them concerned about decentralisation of your podcasting medium. So this has been maybe the most free speech aspect and then your ability to transact financially in this would be the crypto part of it and the mechanisms that you can do with this. There, there are quite a few overlaps between this and I might in future link to a talk that I'm going to do about the value for value model and its intersection with podcasting 2.0 and how there are so many similarities.
So that might have to wait for til the next season. I guess. So with all that being said, there was another aspect there which was getting us onto the Something Unique section and which was his, I suppose, really strong stance on. He would not be accepting advertising or sponsorships. He mentions this quite a few times before 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 advertising offensive, which is so, so far up my alley.
That is exactly how I feel. I in the past have used an analogy of imagine if you're riding a bus and the driver just stopped every now and then, got up to the front and then started talking about a mattress or this cool new toothpaste that he's been using. And you would just go, What the fuck? I'm just trying to get from point A to B, I don't need this. Why is this being why is this happening? That's exactly how I feel about advertising. But in particular, I'm going to play another section here, which was from an episode of his called The Value for Value Model Podcasting 2.0, and it's actually cut off this last little section here, so I can't see that.
But this was from around the four minute 38 mark and the last was and crypto day. So this was from the for around the four minute 38 mark and just his general thoughts on this advertising and his I suppose strong stance against why he in particular will not have advertisers saying and sponsorships.
[00:16:50] Unknown:
The issue with both of those advertising and sponsorships. Let's just camp out there for a second. When you have an advertiser or a sponsor, you also have expectations that that advertiser or sponsor has. They want you to bring a certain message. They want you to bring it in a certain manner, they want a certain image. And if you do something that doesn't fit the objectives of the advertiser, then you may find yourself without the advertiser. And a lot of people will 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 maybe is true, but maybe it's not. Even if it's subconscious. If somebody paid me $10,000 to promote some token, do you think I'm going to be excited about that token? You're darn tootin I'm going to be excited about that token. You keep sending me $10,000 every time I, I shill that token and I will absolutely be excited. I'll stand on my head. I'm so excited. Right. So, yeah, I think that changes perceptions. It can, I guess, depend on the subject. But speaking about crypto with crypto, I think we have a journalistic 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 of as part of my discussion. I don't want to hide that. I have a bias for Bitcoin and Ethereum, right? I don't spend a lot of time and in that piece because maybe I don't understand them as 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 audience and somebody is paying me, you know, again, $10,000 to shill some NFT as an example, it probably wouldn't matter what my bias was, I'd be like, This is the best thing since peanut butter.
So we had to be very careful about that. And I don't ever want to call people out about that or say that that's wrong. That is up to the individual to decide. But I do think it's important that as a consumer of this information, that we keep that in mind, that it is possible that advertise, teasing or sponsorship will change the way that that somebody is viewing something.
[00:19:43] Unknown:
Darn tootin absolutely darn tootin. So I this is somewhat inspired me because in my show and in particular the Mere Mortals podcast, whilst I talk about this, while I whilst I have mentioned my dislike for advertising and sponsorship quite a few times before, I don't think I've really gotten into it deep enough and perhaps even often enough about why it is that the value for value model is so much better now. I think it is more the transparency more than anything else, because look, you're going to be influenced no matter what. Every interaction you have is somewhat an influence and you can't, you know, show all of these.
If I was, I don't know, hurt by a guy wearing a Colgate shirt and well, whilst on the topic of toothpaste, if I was hurt by a guy wearing a Colgate shirt, you know, maybe I would talk about badly about Colgate and there would be some negative memories attached with that. And this could, you know, show up in some of my shows at some point. Now, do I have the ability to showcase every single interaction I've had like that in my life? No, no, that's not possible. So I could somewhat see if you were using advertisements and sponsorship and you perhaps do somewhat what 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 especially how much they're paying.
So you can get a real feel for like, Oh, okay, yeah, I'm getting 10,000 bucks from, from this, this brand. And funnily enough, you know what? Like that that guy is that guy's never really said anything bad about that brand before him. Okay, well, I guess it kind of makes sense. So I'd say it's just more the transparency aspect is, is what I would, would highlight and what I what I hope to highlight. And I'm going to be doing a full episode on this in, I believe, episode 332 of the Mere Mortals podcast about about these sort of ethics and why I feel it's so important, but I think it can be quite a draw for your own value for value.
So if you're if you're you know, maybe finding that people aren't contributing as much, whether it be in time, talent or treasure, you know, all of them, if you can give them reasons for why they should contribute back and perhaps why your show is a little bit unique, why it is special and why you have this strong stance and why you need their help. Because if you do take advertising and sponsorships, it is going to become beholden on you. And whether it be in mentally front of mind or perhaps in your subconscious, like Mcintosh mentioned, that you are going to say or not say things and honestly, I would rather, you know, have that kind of decentralised out via a huge amount of people listening and supporting rather than on perhaps one or two big companies, which is tends to what happen become what happens.
Because if not then you have 15 minutes of ads which, you know, some shows somehow manage to get away with. I honestly don't know how they do that and still have an audience, people I don't know, maybe people like advertising, who knows? But in any case, I think that can be a some draw and like a cool draw and something unique that you can you can use and show in your show. So just a little section there. And with all that being said, this is a value for value show that will never have sponsorships nor advertising. So the way that you can support the show is by going and sending me a boostagram to showcase that and to highlight that and to show you where my influences are coming from, we're now going to go on to the Boostagram Lounge.
Welcome to the Value for Value Boostagram Lounge and taking a page out of Mcintosh's book, I'm actually going to do something I haven't done before, which is talking about streaming. So even though I haven't particularly mentioned this before, there are people who stream it all the time and so I can see here. So Spencer from Curiocaster streamed in now 4682. That's not nothing Peter with 4008 Mary Oscar for 924 Lyceum So this is Martin Lindeskog from the Secular Foxhole podcast covered that before I Satoshi with you with 64/5 Power Productions, 48 Rasta Carla Vera 42 and a x W.K. Well, lovely dame with two.
Thank you. Thank you everyone. And then, you know, my favourite section, the actual boostagram And so starting from just not only smallest biggest but also first of last, we have this is the future. And he says, yes, this was on fire. Fire Emoji three exclamation marks. Thank you very much, my friend and I have seen you popping up many times before, so I do appreciate your support. We've got Able Kirby, and this was through Curiocaster, the last one. Mr. Fountain. And he says, Kyrin, thanks for the continued courage. That was because I covered Ablekraft and the very cool things that they're doing with decentralised music.
Definitely recommend checking out either Abelkraft or their album, which was called Stay a While by Able and The Wolf definitely do that. And then Petar, who comes in I'm sorry, Able Kirby was 4839 and then Peter with a big 13,750. Thank you, my friends, of the very generous and lovely Petar. He says Love Season two. Kyrin, go ahead and take a well-deserved extended break and off Season three eventually comes together. You definitely have at least one listener Smiley face. Thanks so much, Petar. I really do appreciate your support, man. And it does does make a big difference having 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 just thinking about it. My mind was racing. It would take a just think about value for value for half an hour. And that's probably one of the first times in my life that's actually happened to be honest, that that an idea has captured me so greatly. You know, I love podcasting 2.0. I love the ability for chapters and extending RSS and all of those things, but I think it's the value of a value model, which is, which is really captured me and hence why I created a whole damn show on it.
So with that being said, my little value for value ask for this week and maybe even just a section on the the news as well. Not only that, even though I said it right at the start, I have somewhat neglected the aspect of why I appreciate these value coming through in sets. And I definitely would say, you know, check out Generational wealth, cryptocurrency. I, I've found it a a good show. If it was a show all about price pumping and action and you know the market dynamics and that sort of thing, I definitely wouldn't be interested in it. But I did, you know, is bang on with the fundamentals and I can definitely say that you will learn some things about Bitcoin if you are a beginner.
And thankfully this is a beginner show. So definitely that. The other portion I just want to mention and I mentioned this last week was I'm going to be wrapping up season to a many, many reasons for this. One is I just want to create some more time for myself and I feel like I'm sort of coming towards the end of this. It feels like a natural draw towards the end. I definitely have some ideas for a Season three, such as highlighting particular aspects of the podcasting 2.0. So new namespace things how you can use the new tags as a podcast are probably still doing highlighting of shows, but maybe not as in-depth as I have done for this last season to but I'm always open to suggestions as well.
And this podcast will remain online, so I'll definitely be taking a couple of months break. I'm not exactly sure how long, but I will make sure to. Well, you'll just have to follow the Mere Mortals and you'll know then when I'm starting up season two, because that show will not be stopping. And yeah, that'll be just my request I suppose. So if you could, you know, one of the reasons I do for this show is somewhat as a feeder show for the mere mortals. So if you like the ideas that I talk about, if you like how I don't know, just my, my general voice and the things I think about.
If you find any of these interesting, you'll get plenty more of that over on the The Mere Mortals podcast and to a certain extent the Mere Mortals book reviews as well, because those both of those feed into each other and play off of each other. And I really do hope you've been having a fantastic day wherever you are in the world, stacking those sats and creating some wealth through, through one cryptocurrency and the rest of crypto assets. That's how I always view it. And yeah, I really do hope you're doing well. And until the I'll do one more episode.
So the last announcement here, the final episode for season two will be next week and then I'll be going on a break. So until next week, my friends, my dear crypto crypto friends across the world, I really do appreciate your support and I hope you have a fantastic day. Finish it off Kyrin, Come on.
A highlight on the treasure side of the three TS. Welcome, dear friends, to another episode of the Value for Value show.

I believe I've seen one episode in that whole bunch where he had another guest on, but usually it is just him and he prepares and edits it a touch, but it is mostly freeform.
That's not to say he doesn't have notes and things like that, but it is I suppose, not strictly structured to the exact detail and point. He also, for the sections that he has generally he'll have I guess, news of the week talking about charts from the week as well. So you know, Bitcoin number went up, number went down. He will generally have a particular topic and so I can just read out some of them here, such as Self-Custody 1 to 1 or you'll write to financial privacy or what is the market doing? Bull Bear cat. Simple math and bitcoin is bitcoin bad for the environment, etc.
etc. etc.. And then he'll also have a support section, a value for value pitch at the end. And yeah, that's I suppose the, the main things that he's got going on. So I'll play a little bit of a clip here, which is from his, one of his recent episodes called It's A Dilemma to the Limit.

That is quite risky behaviour. Reality. Not everything can be done on one blockchain, so most of them have a particular thing they're trying to do.
So Bitcoin, for example, is trying to be a currency and as only a currency. This is a point I kind of make a lot, which is although others might have aspects of currencies that that Bitcoin is really the only one which has the kind of fundamental values of, of what a currency is or the characteristics I should maybe say. Yeah. And then just in general, you know, seeing as your friend price predictions are rather dumb. So even though he looks at the market, I don't believe he really tries to make price predictions, which is always a smart move and general just topics like this.
So he really does go into a lot of different aspects and most of the time of the show is not spent talking about price or number go up or number go down, which is honestly the most boring things about the stuff that's more about how can this change the world? What problems are these solving? What are the incentives of humans, and how does this align with them, not align with them, those sorts of things. I'm going to jump down to his value for value implementation section and generally he does, I suppose, what a lot of the other shows I've covered.
So he has a Boostagram section, so he did fine. Podcasting 2.0 and I'll be playing a little section from that a little bit later, but he has a leaderboard somewhere. I actually wasn't able to see that on this site. So viewing that, I suppose in terms of me coming in and me boosting, not knowing exactly where to to see that is, I'd say a slight distraction. It a definitely is better if you can have that more visible. And thankfully there are some cool products coming out like set earn and a connection with the Alby Wallet, which you can highlight these things.
So I suppose a little bit more easily. But he does understand the numerology. He reads out the streaming amounts as well, which is possible. I haven't actually bothered to do that with any of my shows, but that is possible to do if you if you dive into the data, which I thought was cool and he spent a little bit of time when he actually responding to the boostagram. So I'm going to play a little bit of a section here which was from the episode Bitcoin as a solution for climate change. And this was around about the 22 minute mark and I might even jump a little bit within it as well, because there's a couple of things I wanted to highlight.

So next we're going to talk about support and it's been a great week. I really appreciate the people who stepped up. I think a lot of this had to do with this being my one year anniversary, so maybe just sticking around counts for something, but I really appreciate it. So we've got a few boost here. There was some streaming going on as well. Going back to Self-Custody one on one. The Mere Mortals podcast had this to say. They sent a boost of 1100 said. So thank you very much. And it said, I think the most important part about Self-Custody is understanding responsibility and trust.
Most people know that the cash in their wallet is their responsibility and that the money in their bank is by and large secured by their government in developed countries. But crypto exchanges and defi companies leaving anything with them is like leaving your wallet with your friends. Friends there's teensy reputational trust, but geez, that's not worth much. And I do agree with that. Maybe a little less about the security of your money in the bank. Hello Cyprus. If you don't remember that, 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 credit union, my bank account. I'm not worried about the money in my wallet. I know that it's my response ability. But the crypto exchanges, the defi companies like all this Terra Luna debacle, you know I it's scary and it is actually reputational in a sense. And a lot of these companies are losing their reputations right now because of their actions. So anyways appreciate it again and thanks for the boost on it's a little dilemma security, speed and decentralisation. We had a couple of boosts three actually.
Again, Mere Mortals podcast, Congrats on the first anniversary mate. And he set 2200 SATs using fountain. I don't know why it says using fountain. I'm sure he did. I don't know why that was stuck in there. I've asked him actually to review the podcast for one of the podcasts that they do. I reached out to him early in the week and so he's been very kind. He's listened to a couple of episodes. I think he's got some more to listen to, and he says they'll be covering that in a few weeks, so I'm looking forward to that. Janine Jam sent 1980 SATs.
I did notice actually, Jenny was up to second place on our leaderboard, by the way, part of my export show's total SATs per person. Not sure if that includes stream. I think that's just boost, actually. But Ginny's been a regular and solid supporter of the podcast. I really appreciate that. And I believe this is supposed to be Jim Siefert. I hope I got that right. I'm just going by the handle here. So, Jim, I got you three boost That was from a No Agenda listener and that's why it's 33. That's funny. I've never actually discussed that on this podcast, but they consider that to be 33 is like a magic number.
It's not really what they mean. But anyways, it's one of the numerology things they do. And then this is from a little bit later in the episode as well. Right towards the end. GWC supports podcasting 2.0. It's a Value for value podcast. Of course, we don't have any sponsors, we don't have any advertisers. You're never going to hear an ad on this. And I do not get sponsors even though people reach out to me all the time. You can support the podcast in three ways by time, talent and treasure. If you want to support the podcast and have some time or talent, I could use some help with things like chapters for the podcast transcripts and probably a few other things.
Treasures exactly what it sounds like. If you find the content valuable, you can support the podcast by streaming stats from a podcasting 2.0 app or sending support via PayPal to Macintosh engine wealth. Crypto.com. You can get a podcasting 2.0 app for the optimal listening experience, and so you can stream or boost SAT at new podcast outcome. Of course, I've been playing around for quite a while now with the Fountain App among the beta group. For that they are innovating very rapidly. I really like what's going on with the podcasting 2.0 apps.
[00:13:41] Unknown:
Okay, quite a few things to highlight from there. So number one was you could see his pitch was pretty polished and on point definitely knew what he was going to say and had practised that before. And what was encouraging was considering his as a crypto podcast was that he wasn't just highlighting the trezor part 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 that you could do it as well. This would be via chapters and transcripts, which is what he was looking for and doesn't have particularly the time or maybe even the talent needed to work on this.
What was also cool was his recognise edition, I guess, of the overlap between what a crypto asset is trying to do and what podcasting 2.0 is trying to do. And there's very many similarities between the two and both of them concerned about decentralisation of your podcasting medium. So this has been maybe the most free speech aspect and then your ability to transact financially in this would be the crypto part of it and the mechanisms that you can do with this. There, there are quite a few overlaps between this and I might in future link to a talk that I'm going to do about the value for value model and its intersection with podcasting 2.0 and how there are so many similarities.
So that might have to wait for til the next season. I guess. So with all that being said, there was another aspect there which was getting us onto the Something Unique section and which was his, I suppose, really strong stance on. He would not be accepting advertising or sponsorships. He mentions this quite a few times before 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 advertising offensive, which is so, so far up my alley.
That is exactly how I feel. I in the past have used an analogy of imagine if you're riding a bus and the driver just stopped every now and then, got up to the front and then started talking about a mattress or this cool new toothpaste that he's been using. And you would just go, What the fuck? I'm just trying to get from point A to B, I don't need this. Why is this being why is this happening? That's exactly how I feel about advertising. But in particular, I'm going to play another section here, which was from an episode of his called The Value for Value Model Podcasting 2.0, and it's actually cut off this last little section here, so I can't see that.
But this was from around the four minute 38 mark and the last was and crypto day. So this was from the for around the four minute 38 mark and just his general thoughts on this advertising and his I suppose strong stance against why he in particular will not have advertisers saying and sponsorships.
[00:16:50] Unknown:
The issue with both of those advertising and sponsorships. Let's just camp out there for a second. When you have an advertiser or a sponsor, you also have expectations that that advertiser or sponsor has. They want you to bring a certain message. They want you to bring it in a certain manner, they want a certain image. And if you do something that doesn't fit the objectives of the advertiser, then you may find yourself without the advertiser. And a lot of people will 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 maybe is true, but maybe it's not. Even if it's subconscious. If somebody paid me $10,000 to promote some token, do you think I'm going to be excited about that token? You're darn tootin I'm going to be excited about that token. You keep sending me $10,000 every time I, I shill that token and I will absolutely be excited. I'll stand on my head. I'm so excited. Right. So, yeah, I think that changes perceptions. It can, I guess, depend on the subject. But speaking about crypto with crypto, I think we have a journalistic 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 of as part of my discussion. I don't want to hide that. I have a bias for Bitcoin and Ethereum, right? I don't spend a lot of time and in that piece because maybe I don't understand them as 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 audience and somebody is paying me, you know, again, $10,000 to shill some NFT as an example, it probably wouldn't matter what my bias was, I'd be like, This is the best thing since peanut butter.
So we had to be very careful about that. And I don't ever want to call people out about that or say that that's wrong. That is up to the individual to decide. But I do think it's important that as a consumer of this information, that we keep that in mind, that it is possible that advertise, teasing or sponsorship will change the way that that somebody is viewing something.
[00:19:43] Unknown:
Darn tootin absolutely darn tootin. So I this is somewhat inspired me because in my show and in particular the Mere Mortals podcast, whilst I talk about this, while I whilst I have mentioned my dislike for advertising and sponsorship quite a few times before, I don't think I've really gotten into it deep enough and perhaps even often enough about why it is that the value for value model is so much better now. I think it is more the transparency more than anything else, because look, you're going to be influenced no matter what. Every interaction you have is somewhat an influence and you can't, you know, show all of these.
If I was, I don't know, hurt by a guy wearing a Colgate shirt and well, whilst on the topic of toothpaste, if I was hurt by a guy wearing a Colgate shirt, you know, maybe I would talk about badly about Colgate and there would be some negative memories attached with that. And this could, you know, show up in some of my shows at some point. Now, do I have the ability to showcase every single interaction I've had like that in my life? No, no, that's not possible. So I could somewhat see if you were using advertisements and sponsorship and you perhaps do somewhat what 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 especially how much they're paying.
So you can get a real feel for like, Oh, okay, yeah, I'm getting 10,000 bucks from, from this, this brand. And funnily enough, you know what? Like that that guy is that guy's never really said anything bad about that brand before him. Okay, well, I guess it kind of makes sense. So I'd say it's just more the transparency aspect is, is what I would, would highlight and what I what I hope to highlight. And I'm going to be doing a full episode on this in, I believe, episode 332 of the Mere Mortals podcast about about these sort of ethics and why I feel it's so important, but I think it can be quite a draw for your own value for value.
So if you're if you're you know, maybe finding that people aren't contributing as much, whether it be in time, talent or treasure, you know, all of them, if you can give them reasons for why they should contribute back and perhaps why your show is a little bit unique, why it is special and why you have this strong stance and why you need their help. Because if you do take advertising and sponsorships, it is going to become beholden on you. And whether it be in mentally front of mind or perhaps in your subconscious, like Mcintosh mentioned, that you are going to say or not say things and honestly, I would rather, you know, have that kind of decentralised out via a huge amount of people listening and supporting rather than on perhaps one or two big companies, which is tends to what happen become what happens.
Because if not then you have 15 minutes of ads which, you know, some shows somehow manage to get away with. I honestly don't know how they do that and still have an audience, people I don't know, maybe people like advertising, who knows? But in any case, I think that can be a some draw and like a cool draw and something unique that you can you can use and show in your show. So just a little section there. And with all that being said, this is a value for value show that will never have sponsorships nor advertising. So the way that you can support the show is by going and sending me a boostagram to showcase that and to highlight that and to show you where my influences are coming from, we're now going to go on to the Boostagram Lounge.
Welcome to the Value for Value Boostagram Lounge and taking a page out of Mcintosh's book, I'm actually going to do something I haven't done before, which is talking about streaming. So even though I haven't particularly mentioned this before, there are people who stream it all the time and so I can see here. So Spencer from Curiocaster streamed in now 4682. That's not nothing Peter with 4008 Mary Oscar for 924 Lyceum So this is Martin Lindeskog from the Secular Foxhole podcast covered that before I Satoshi with you with 64/5 Power Productions, 48 Rasta Carla Vera 42 and a x W.K. Well, lovely dame with two.
Thank you. Thank you everyone. And then, you know, my favourite section, the actual boostagram And so starting from just not only smallest biggest but also first of last, we have this is the future. And he says, yes, this was on fire. Fire Emoji three exclamation marks. Thank you very much, my friend and I have seen you popping up many times before, so I do appreciate your support. We've got Able Kirby, and this was through Curiocaster, the last one. Mr. Fountain. And he says, Kyrin, thanks for the continued courage. That was because I covered Ablekraft and the very cool things that they're doing with decentralised music.
Definitely recommend checking out either Abelkraft or their album, which was called Stay a While by Able and The Wolf definitely do that. And then Petar, who comes in I'm sorry, Able Kirby was 4839 and then Peter with a big 13,750. Thank you, my friends, of the very generous and lovely Petar. He says Love Season two. Kyrin, go ahead and take a well-deserved extended break and off Season three eventually comes together. You definitely have at least one listener Smiley face. Thanks so much, Petar. I really do appreciate your support, man. And it does does make a big difference having 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 just thinking about it. My mind was racing. It would take a just think about value for value for half an hour. And that's probably one of the first times in my life that's actually happened to be honest, that that an idea has captured me so greatly. You know, I love podcasting 2.0. I love the ability for chapters and extending RSS and all of those things, but I think it's the value of a value model, which is, which is really captured me and hence why I created a whole damn show on it.
So with that being said, my little value for value ask for this week and maybe even just a section on the the news as well. Not only that, even though I said it right at the start, I have somewhat neglected the aspect of why I appreciate these value coming through in sets. And I definitely would say, you know, check out Generational wealth, cryptocurrency. I, I've found it a a good show. If it was a show all about price pumping and action and you know the market dynamics and that sort of thing, I definitely wouldn't be interested in it. But I did, you know, is bang on with the fundamentals and I can definitely say that you will learn some things about Bitcoin if you are a beginner.
And thankfully this is a beginner show. So definitely that. The other portion I just want to mention and I mentioned this last week was I'm going to be wrapping up season to a many, many reasons for this. One is I just want to create some more time for myself and I feel like I'm sort of coming towards the end of this. It feels like a natural draw towards the end. I definitely have some ideas for a Season three, such as highlighting particular aspects of the podcasting 2.0. So new namespace things how you can use the new tags as a podcast are probably still doing highlighting of shows, but maybe not as in-depth as I have done for this last season to but I'm always open to suggestions as well.
And this podcast will remain online, so I'll definitely be taking a couple of months break. I'm not exactly sure how long, but I will make sure to. Well, you'll just have to follow the Mere Mortals and you'll know then when I'm starting up season two, because that show will not be stopping. And yeah, that'll be just my request I suppose. So if you could, you know, one of the reasons I do for this show is somewhat as a feeder show for the mere mortals. So if you like the ideas that I talk about, if you like how I don't know, just my, my general voice and the things I think about.
If you find any of these interesting, you'll get plenty more of that over on the The Mere Mortals podcast and to a certain extent the Mere Mortals book reviews as well, because those both of those feed into each other and play off of each other. And I really do hope you've been having a fantastic day wherever you are in the world, stacking those sats and creating some wealth through, through one cryptocurrency and the rest of crypto assets. That's how I always view it. And yeah, I really do hope you're doing well. And until the I'll do one more episode.
So the last announcement here, the final episode for season two will be next week and then I'll be going on a break. So until next week, my friends, my dear crypto crypto friends across the world, I really do appreciate your support and I hope you have a fantastic day. Finish it off Kyrin, Come on.
