Interesting topics (mostly). Manages to pull in very interesting guests.
Easily the best crypto podcast that leans sceptical that I've found.
Audio tends to be on the low end, I have to turn up the volume compared to other podcasts.
Description
Bennett and Cas discuss historical moments in the cryptocurrency and finance industries, focusing on frauds, hacks, exit scams, and other malfeasance.
