And we're a better way to do this.

Let me show you a better way.

You don't have to be another face in the crowd.

And we are live. Welcome folks to episode 3,000 600 of the survival podcast.

And you know me, I'm just a freak in certain ways.

And numbers are one of those ways. And I like even numbers.

So it's always kind of cool when we cross another 100 episode mark.

I guess our next big, big, big monumental episode will be 4,000.

We're pretty far away from that.

But 3,600, we've been around a while, 16 and a half years.

And we've seen a lot of things change over the years.

When I started this show, for instance, the number one way people paid me other than online with like a creditor or debit card was silver.

I got silver in the mail all the time.

I was talking to Guy Swan yesterday and said, hey, you know, I haven't got a silver coin in the mail for a long time.

Probably around 2017-ish, somewhere in there.

Everybody pays now, if they're going to pay in an alternative way, they pay with like, oh, I don't know, Bitcoin.

And so we've seen a lot of technological innovation.

And one of the innovations we've seen in the last few years is the rise of what's referred to as AI or artificial intelligence.

I've often said it's not artificial nor intelligent, but it is very, very useful.

And it is the name we have, just like a Bitcoin wallet.

It's really not a wallet.

It's a signing device.
