About this episode
What is it about cryptocurrency that brings with it the dark side of hustlers & scammers? In Episode #178 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: my recent shithouse banking experience, crypto makes sense but has some dodgy people in the community, the extreme left and extreme right, the complexity of the financial systems and what our fitness goals will look like when we are older.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
