This was probably my most enjoyable discussion. Thank you so much for hosting me, Dr. Peterson!

Loved learning more about Bitcoin here. Super heavy into crypto but embarrassingly have pretty much avoided Bitcoin or learning about Bitcoin. I will say there's much more to be said about DeFi, smart contracts, NFTs and other new technology being forged on other chains. This is an incredibly exciting space, can't wait to see where it goes.

What astonishing virtuosity. Their conversation reached the heights of intellectual stimulation. Fascinating information that opened the listener to whole new worlds of possibility and understanding. Dr Peterson's immediate grasp of the subject and curiosity untainted by prejudice is a model of what intellectual enquiry should be. Worth a few hours of anyone's time. Thank you so much to you both.

The conversation that took place between the two of these amazing free thinkers was as close to "The Theory of Everything" as I have ever witnessed. I am grateful for both your contribution to humanity. Thank you, thank you, thank you
