Episode notes

i think it just comes down to reading things with a critical eye and asking the basic questions of revenue and adoption and churn.

But as you sort of zoom out having looked at all this, what role do you feel like,. um, the federal government not stepping in to regulate these things for earlier verses? Or venture capitalists just trying to make quick boa at the expense of retail verses? Ah, you know, the people that are actually promoting these things. Ye.
