Updated Thoughts On 'Crypto' | Does Everyone Need To Practice Public Speaking?
About this episode
Lots of crypto talk for this episode so we're on some shaky ground.
In Episode #368 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: why I don't understand Ethereum well, the different variations of cryptocurrency staking, my dislike of Patreon's service, why Juan might be flying to the US next month and why I suck at public speaking and don't think I (or others generally) need to improve at it.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
