| 0:00.0 | What is up, Freaks? It's your boy, Marty, here to introduce this episode of Tales from the Crypt. |
| 0:07.0 | It's interesting. It's really not an episode of Tales from the Crypt. It's an episode of Gamcast, the podcast we started at Great American Mining, to help bridge the gap between the Bitcoin mining industry and the oil and gas industry. |
| 0:18.7 | Specifically, I am cross-pollinating between the feeds right now in an |
| 0:25.0 | effort to bring more attention to what we're doing at Gamcast. If you guys have been following the great |
| 0:30.1 | American mining story and you're interested in it and want to learn more about what we're doing |
| 0:34.7 | specifically, we started this podcast again to bridge the gap |
| 0:38.8 | between the Bitcoin mining industry and the oil and gas industry. And the episode I recorded |
| 0:43.2 | last week with Anas Al-Haji, I think is a very good episode all around just in terms of macroeconomics |
| 0:52.0 | with the focus on oil and how bitcoin may play a role |

| 1:22.5 | It's a very hyper-focused conversation about that particular topic on a weekly basis. |
| 1:28.6 | Go look us up on your local podcasting platform, Gamcast, G-A-M-C-A-S-T. |
| 1:34.9 | Subscribe to that. |
| 1:36.3 | Again, if you're interested to learn more, I'm not forcing anything upon you, freaks. |
| 1:41.0 | I think we're going to be putting out some very interesting content that Bitcoiners may |
| 1:46.7 | like. And if you're in the oil and gas industry and you've found TFTC somehow and you want a |
| 1:53.1 | more focused content about Bitcoin and oil and gas, this is the podcast for you. Secondly, |
| 2:00.0 | I'm posting it here too because there's just an incredible conversation. |
