I previously posted that crypto had been covered on the FT Money Clinic podcast.

Well today's (18/2/2022) FT briefing is dedicated to Crypto. Some interesting stuff. One, apparently well respected, organization calling for international discussions as crypto effects can be world wide and individual countries efforts seem to have little effect. Another piece about cottage crypto mining in Siberia. Apparently local hydro leads to cheap electricity and the heat produced as a bi-product is all to the good. WELL cheap domestic electricity. The domestic prices are less than the commercial prices. Something that has caused problems in other countries (not mentioned) and something to watch in the UK given current political pressures*.
In my previous post (linked) I mentioned Mr McCormack. He produces a sometimes interesting podcast called "What Bitcoin did". This runs the gamut from high brow to low. It all depends upon who he gets to talk to. I confess that I lose interest when he starts talking football and other sports. He is very interested in UK football and owns Bedford Real.
The point of this post is to start a thread where people can link or mention crypto podcasts or podcasts covering crypto that day/week.
I feel that most discussion/debate on the subject is woefully ill informed and it strikes me that knowing what informative podcasts there are can do nothing but help address that fact.
*Those who listen to podcasts on economics will be aware that incentives have an effect. Give people something free or cheap and they will find a way to profit from it.
