    The look of confusion to disappointment on Cas as he learns what's going on is so relatable. It can feel vindicating to see scams collapse but please remember there are real people behind those $12B+ invested. People who could have lost significant portions of their net worth, could slip in to depression, miss bills etc...

Serious stuff. I want to drive the point home but I don’t want to be insensitive. I would love to hear this covered in a future episode. “What to do as a crypto critic when you’re right about everything” would be a great title.

An interesting idea and a good mission, but people don't care.

    Guys, it is not correct to call any type of crypto "fiat." Fiat currency is currency by force of law alone: that is why it is called "fiat." Crypto may appear like fiat because it has no backing, but that does not make it fiat by the proper definitions of the terms. Read "The Theory of Money and Credit" by Ludwig von Mises.
