The Pomp Podcast

In today's episode, I break down Bitcoin On-Chain Analytics. I'm usually joined by WiIl Clemente on Saturdays to discuss his research through articulating his weekly newsletter. Unfortunately, Will was unable to join us this week. Instead, I go through the Blockware Newsletter and various other Bitcoin metrics. Today I discuss the aftermath of the Bitcoin Conference, Inflation, how we have reached an all-time of bitcoin supply that has not moved in the last 12 months, and Terra continuing to purchase $100M of Bitcoin a day. ======================= Today’s episode is brought to you by Coinbase Wallet, your key to the world of crypto. Crypto wasn’t made to just buy, sell, and hodl. With Coinbase Wallet, you can do so much more: Collect more NFTs, earn more with DeFi, and trade more than 4,000 tokens. Whether you’re looking to play, stake, spend, or just explore a trending new protocol — Coinbase Wallet is your key to more. Long-time HODLers already know that wallets are a must-have if you want complete control of your crypto. That’s why Coinbase Wallet makes self-custody simple, while providing the safety and security of the most trusted name in crypto.

You’re entitled to all the benefits of the decentralized web. But there’s a catch: As Web3-enabled tech — like NFTs, smart contracts, and DAOs — drive more elements of our “real world” lives online, proving that you’re a person – without surrendering personal data – becomes exponentially more valuable. And exponentially more difficult.   This is why Unstoppable Domains launched Humanity Check.    Humanity Check proves that you’re, well, you – without revealing personal data. No matter where you go on the web, you’ll have total control over which apps you want to share data with…and which ones you don’t.   Prefer to be completely clouded in mystique? No worries - Humanity Check is 100% opt in. If you want to feel alive, or at least prove you are, head to http://UnstoppableDomains.com and get your NFT domain with Humanity Check. Crypto is all about giving the power back to the people and our sponsor, Pipe, is doing that in a big way.
