    Like the show, but you guys sometimes go into areas you don’t know anything about
    I really enjoy your podcast. I do. But, I find it is interesting that you guys are veering into politics because one person is pandering to you. Can’t believe you didn’t watch the last debate and you are commenting on it. Really? You are doing the exact same thing you criticize mainstream media for. It’s pretty clear you are just riffing based on something you’ve heard second or third hand and it makes you guys seem less credible. Do better and follow your own advice. Jan 6 is disqualifying by itself. Did you not know it happened, did you actively ignore it, or are you getting your info second or third hand? I guess you could be in the tech-bro camp who thinks democracy has jumped the shark.

    Awesome Content
    Honest take on any news. Very relevant to crypto market. The hosts compliment each other on humor and energy level.

    Excellent
    Truly high quality content. And with very low key understated humor bonus.

    Great pod
    Keep up the bad boys coverage and don't forget the music! I'll bump to 5 stars once the music is back 😁

    Indispensable
    Must-listen weekly snapshot of news and key deals from industry’s most-trusted crypto and comedy duo. I vote for Swan Lake as SEC theme song—inspired choice!

    Keep the deals
    Big fan of the show. In my top 3 for crypto podcasts. The deals keep the show grounded. Good to have the section with some objective industry reporting w/o commentary mixed in with you usual rapport. Keep it up! Would love to hear your guys thoughts on zcash too sometime. Slainte!

    Deals
    I think this is a Newton’s third law thing and you should leave the deals behind to move this pod forward
  • Nicholas A Beaird
    Deals
    The deals may be boring, but they are essential in the same way I read financials. They don’t exhilarate me, but the information is relevant and can help me make decisions or learn more about the companies within the space. If you remove them… I will keep listening, but I will be sad.

    Weekly roundup
    I’m a big fan of fake deals by the intern. Probably the best mind in crypto these days.

    Brought Down By…
    Now that it’s football season, every time I hear the announcer say “Brought down by” I can’t help but finish it in my head with “bad mortgage investments”. 5/5 stars.
  • Kschloss
    Low IQ ex bitcoiner
    Nic speaks like he is in-between gargling his boyfriends mouthwash. Idea: compile a list of thoughtful topics or continue to sound like kid who stayed up too late gaming. Bad and dopey look

  • blah123123
    My favorite Podcast
    I look forward to the weekly review every week. And if Nic decides to reduce the frequency in which he does them, I will riot
  • Say No To Pandas
    here for nic’s monotone
    love the podcast. perfect rundown of all/some things crypto with character.
  • country boy mic p
    5 star turn up the audio.
    Listen to every show. Brilliant. Please turn up the audio level. On full blast I can’t hear the show when I’m driving on the freeway.
  • orthoagnostic
    Love your monotone gents
    New theme song is something this listener would welcome, but not an existential necessity. Between this and uncommon core I think one can have a solid knowledge base.
  • kfixbwhdisa
    Great show
    One of the best in crypto
  • 95070b
    A definite “must-have”
    Obviously there are literally thousands of places to start your crypto journey - websites, Youtube channels, podcasts, etc. However, if you remain true to your desire for higher knowledge on this topic and continue to push off the allure of the various populist movements out there, you will eventually graduate to one of the two-three “must-haves” in the crypto sphere. On the Brink is definitely one of these and I can’t thank Nic and Matt enough for helping to expand my knowledge. Specifically, Nic Carter’s work on the energy conversation as well as his excitement for Proof of Reserve is helping push the bitcoin blockchain and BTC forward (while providing much needed entertainment when he destroys BTC debaters, lol). THANK YOU!!!

    The number 1 Bitcoin Podcast in Cambridge
    If I’m not in Clubhouse listening to BTC related experts (exhausting these days) I’m listening to a related podcast or reading a book / article on the same. After that I fill my time with Gensler circa 2018 MIT. This helps fill the time gap while I await the OTB weekly roundup. It’s easily my favorite podcast on everything crypto. It is my weekly CliffsNotes (Boomer reference, I hope Nic allows this) on the state of the industry. Great job guys! I challenge Matt to sneak a Boomer reference into each roundup to keep Nic on his toes.

  • CavaDaddyAF
    Wen Moon?
    This is one of the top 3 bitcoin related pods in the space. Great guests great logical knowledge also “dabbles” in other economic issues. Worthy of your time if you have skin in the game or are new and looking to get down to brass tax.

    Top Tier Crypto Content
    Highly intelligent, often hilarious
  • Rod Walk
    Great guests, great content
    Matt and Nic are very knowledgeable about blockchain and cryptocurrency. They stay on topic and are not interested in being podcast personalities. They both live and breath the asset class and provide excellent weekly news and deal recaps in addition to weekly interviews with a variety of guests. Good for both newbie and experienced people interested in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.
  • Dutchladle
    They Report; We Decide
    Matt & Nic are in their genre the reporters that sadly no longer exist in mainstream media: empirical, objective, honest.

  • samtesterkpow
    High signal crypto podcast
    A podcast with a wide variety of guests and with hosts with deep knowledge of the industry. Nic and Matt have a variety of perspectives, but always with true value in mind and not just hype.

    Dry Humor, Fantastic Pod
    These guys are low key hilarious. I am a newbie to the BTC/DeFi space so half of the terms go over my head, but what I do understand is 100% amazing. Dry and filled with great investing news. Great guests but the Friday rundown is my favorite. Keep crushing fellas!
