Tales from the Creeks.

Welcome back to Tales from the Crift at your boy Marty Bent.

Here on a Friday night.

We're done with the Sober Podcast.

We're back drinking here.

We've got some bullet bourbon

frontier whiskey i think it's my favorite these days it's definitely my go-to um it's 420

a barstool office smells like a fucking grow house right now there's people token up all over

the place i have not indulged yet today because i'm very excited for this conversation. We have somebody from

Blockstack in the studio. I'd like to introduce you all to Patrick Stanley, the growth partner at Blockstack.

Patrick, welcome to the pod. Hey, how's it going? And thanks for having me. Thanks for coming on.

I'm really interested. I had to interrupt the conversation we were having before we started

recording because you were giving out too much good information that I didn't want to miss

here on the podcast. And I know your time is limited. You got a boxing match to get to tonight.

So let's jump right into it. This is Tales from the Crypt. How did you find Bitcoin?

Yeah. So actually, I was living in Chicago at the time, and I think I was in my early

20s. I think I was like 22. I think every young man at some point starts to dive down the rabbit

hole of, you know, what is money? And I was kind of going down

this rabbit hole, learning the sort of Austrian side of economics. I'm not even sure where I

first heard about it, but I remember being incredibly skeptical. And then the more I looked into it,

the more I became very optimistic on it. And I remember my brother was a commodity trader in Chicago,

and I was telling him about it.
