Episode notes

It's not actually all that cringe except when you pair it with SBF and all the effective altruism groups. David, this was a really cool demo this week. I feel like this is a major unlock for wallets. Goldfinch wallet. Do you know what I'm talking about when I say Unipig moment? I do.
