Crazy to listen now when all those verified truthers are official members of the administration

Thomas Jennings

Jacob Silverman from the new republic. Lol. I thought April Fools only happened once per year

Joe Amditis

If you two don't just get married already I'm done

Natalie

what's his deal

Taylor Leibel

Why does brace know the term loot table lol is he a a secret gamer? 👀

Buster Malino

Bukele is an absolute dweeb. Cant wait to listen

orc

Cool being anti crypto is basically being pro CIA

Buster Malino

Friend, what’s a pedophile’s favorite transaction method?

Richard Young

Wait… why did Brace watch a video of a monkey raping a frog?

Moonwatcher13

ok, Brace's voice at the episode state was the most disturbing thing I have heard in months. this was fucked. I hate/love Coindexter. Great god-damn episode.

Graham Hoese

The episode starts with a sound of disgust from Liz and somehow I knew it was from the uncomfortable presence of Coin Dexter

William

I didn't know it was possible to reach levels of retardation this high

William

Oh no, can't have a... podcast episode... that doesn't age well.. wtf is wrong with you people

William

New republic bad. Reporter bad. Reporter bad because new republic bad too. No good possible only bad. Because news bad.

orc

they should get Dave Weigel and Taylor Lorenz while they're at it

Alberto Limon

Ricardo Salinas, also involved in some NXVM shit.

Aaron Bermudez

My Salvadoran heart is happy you guys are finally getting into the mess being made by Bukele in El Salvador

Josh Woods

Coindexter is a cool guy but if he starts talking about real estate you should dip. He was into some sketchy shit in the 80's and word on the street is he's getting a little low on coin.

Intro by JK Rowling

My brother in Christ, you subscribed to the CIA podcast.

frog anon

You guys should do an episode about Gerald Cotten and QuadrigaCX - dude "died" and forgot to tell anyone the keys for the funds behind his crypto exchange, effectively making 100s of millions of dollars of users money disappear. There's a Netflix thing, but it kinda stinks, would love to hear Coindexter and Lizzy Blockchains weight in 🥸

Ascetic Blur

Crypto ponzi schemes are the inevitable end of unfettered capitalism. Turns out millions will buy magic beans from some asshole.

Oatmeal

Coindexter literally robbed me for my wares and here you guys are giving him a platform yet again 🙄 do better.

Dan Gorry

Y'all need to get Ben Avery on the Pod to talk more about monkeys using frog's mouths as sex toys

Simon

Very good episode.

DH

Crypto was literally started by glowies

justdave

I met a guy from El Salvador who plays the accordian at the horse ranch today- he was pretty cool

Zzz

You wanna know what rhymes with Ponzi scheme? Fonzie cream. Shout out to the OG TrueAnon listeners.

becks

I teach a high school financial math course and my students are dying to learn about crypto/NFTs. They have zero understanding of anything about this topic. I’m wondering if y’all would be willing to share at least some show notes from these eps? I want to develop lessons about these markets that underscore how volatile and dangerous playing the crypto game is. I can’t exactly show them the pod lol but it would be way over their heads anyway, I mostly want to present facts in a way that demonstrates the instability and unpredictability of these markets

Kate Baldwin

Got my cafe Lorenzo t-shirt. Loved the pink packaging.

AfroCommie

so yung c's intro song brought back memories of the AOC episode :(

Monica

Ryan Atwood / Commissioner Gordon taking down crypto? A crossover I didn't expect

hater

Y’all should look into this guy Nick Clark, he’s just been exposed for faking a pro cycling career and it turns out he faked his way onto the boards of several defense think tanks including the american security project (founded by john kerry)

Casey

I loved glamdemon2004s coverage of bitcoincon

Kompromatic

Miami is basically like it’s own separate country Brace

Jasmine M

anyone else banned from the chapo patreon yet still get charged automatically every month? raise yr hand high so i can see em

Jasmine M

He also banned me from Matt's twitch stream. Oh, and I've contributed to the show since before the '16 election, so the ppl screeching "5 BUCKS REALLY? you have BPD" kindly fuck off and come back to me once you have bills to pay or like... a family

A Loon

Perhaps looking at previous bubbles would be better for illustrating the possible (likely) trajectory of crypto. Like a chapter from "Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crisis" if you haven't covered that already.

SoldierBlue

How did you get banned from Chapo? I unsubscribed last week

CW

brace do me a solid and pls never do that voice. rly good ep tho

Erockdog

Brace do the voice the fans love it honestly didn't love the ep peace

Jasmine M

My comments don't show but I'm still being charged automatically every month. This is a violation of Patreon terms of service and I filed a proper complaint thru them. I'll be floored if anything comes of it, which makes the stampede of butthurt asinine comments flooding my inbox particularly vexing!

Jasmine M

I also emailed Chris with no response. He seems to be the one fielding fan hate so that explains the giant chip on his shoulder

Jasmine M

I "liked" the reply you left me on here when it popped up in my inbox, but when I went to respond, it was deleted? Weird! ETA: Why don't you harass women irl instead? Prolly more fun! (this guy said i have BPD unprovoked, which I'd let slide cause I'm regular) but my dude you really oughtta get out of yr room sometimes. I'm not even kidding.

Jasmine M

me2 dude def the hottest of the drop. wearin it to sleep. ETA good morning Vietnam (I’m still wearing it)

Eoghan Flanagan

"Would you say that Crypto has. .. bought you a friend?" 😂. I absolutely lost it at that.

Jasmine M

Fuuck being manic is bangin

kay

When trueanon makes another crypto episode :3

AbeLinkin

What’s wrong with Chapo?

SoldierBlue

@Peter Sullivan, I just found I wasn’t listening to the episodes anymore so I opted out.

Andrew Bates

Coindexter is why I subscribe and he needs to feature on every ep

Natalie

was it her podcast or tiktok videos

Natalie

seems like the guest probably has some articles about it, maybe that can lead to further research. I doubt tangible lesson plans like that exist already

Natalie

yeah man just give it a few more years man everyone will be bitcoining and no one will be getting screwed over! they'll be real embarrassed then! they'll see!

Natalie

giving humans speech was a mistake!

Pgh

I live in Hong Kong, but I need coin dexter’s help to bag van der velde

Sly Muffin

No talk of any other stablecoins, nor any discussion over inflation & monetary policy. I like some aspects of the podcast and I think there are plenty of bad actors in crypto but you guys continue to miss the mark on this topic.

Sly Muffin

Bretton Woods agreement? Anything?

Zhandra

If you really are using stablecoins to defend crypto you're just admitting that markets can't create good alternatives to national currencies

Sly Muffin

the market makers and the fed are not in the business of creating a better alternative to national currencies. also stable coins are first and foremost intended to be a stable coin for the crypto market, not a national currency...

Sly Muffin

and, they can't create a good alternative. that is why the value of the USD has been devalued since the early 1900's. and that is exactly why satoshi invented btc.

SillyMoose

Bukele this week: “unionized workers are gangsters” cispes.org/article/government-threatens-arrests-those-who-march-international-workers-day

SH

Imagine quoting Hayek favorably on TrueAnon. Unreal.

Richard Hunter

The technology behind Bitcoin is fascinating, but you have to wonder how many people would really be interested in it if it hadn't surged in value over the last 10 years.

Dean Watson

This coindexter bit was never funny

Sick dude

Coindexter should have a national holiday.
