    You know Cas isn't dipping in to the CasCoin reserves because he would have gotten a better webcam.

    Plot twist: he embezzled the whole reserve and this was the best he could do.

    I love this podcast. When I look for "crypto debate" videos it's always some slapfight like: which is better, Algorand or Cardano?! I'm bullish on CasCoin.

    Why would we want out money back from CasCoin? It is going to the moon and have you seen the yield we're getting?! I prefer Hairballcoin over the Littercoin protocol myself but the latter is tempting for long term stability (its the regulator risk that gets me) great episode BTW.

    Since Tether has never been audited, does the claimed 85 billions or so really exist? While we can be quite sure that Circle is losing market cap, can we be as sure that Tether is gaining market cap?
