This week’s guests are Grant and Jerry from Blocmates.com. Blocmates is in the business of education, helping to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone via their guides, tutorials, reviews, and a free weekly newsletter with the latest crypto analysis. It’s so simple your grandparents could follow it, and let me tell you…the crypto industry needs more of what they’re doing.
As a whole, crypto content creation today is in desperate need of a makeover. There are far too many creators that either don’t know what they are talking about or focus on things like silly thumbnails on YouTube to bring in listeners that are designed for click rather than value.
In short: Unnecessary noise, and FAR too many grifters.
On the other end of the spectrum is blocmates. Value is the key driving force behind everything they do. From deep dives into promising crypto projects to 101 explainers on up-and-coming areas of the market, this team is EVERYWHERE. We discuss important topics including crypto education, the makings of a strong and sustainable crypto project, red flags for investors to look out for, and more. With that, please enjoy my conversation with Grant and Jerri.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
