Welcome back to Diggnation Reboot Episode 6! This week, Alex and Kevin talk about Bitcoin breaking $90k and MicroStrategy’s stock hitting an all-time high. Is holding onto Bitcoin still the move, or are you better off cashing out? Meanwhile, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul finally went head-to-head last week, and Tyson’s punch power is straight-up unreal (think: 13 kicks to the nuts-level impact).
We’re also unpacking the next big thing for EVs: silicon-based batteries that promise double the range and faster charging. Plus, Amazon is shutting down Freevee (RIP another streamer), and we can’t get over the rumor that Zuck and T-Pain might actually be making an album together. And if that’s not enough, a live-action Zelda movie is officially happening, and Tron 3 footage just teased real-world light cycles.
Towards the end of the episode, Alex and Kevin share a heartfelt conversation about male depression, loneliness, and why maintaining close friendships matters more than ever. It’s an honest and genuine moment that’s worth sticking around for.
Get ready for a laid-back mix of tech talk, hilarious takes, nostalgia, and a touch of real talk to keep it grounded.
