| 0:00.0 | Well, hey there, freaks. It's your boy Marty here to introduce this week's episode with James Chang, |
| 0:04.9 | who's in town as part of the chain code residency, doing some incredible stuff. James is an incredibly |
| 0:10.8 | humble man, incredibly intelligent man. We had a far, wide-ranging discussion, everything from |
| 0:17.0 | Bitcoin to taproot to energy in solar and renewable energy in particular i must warn you freaks |
| 0:25.5 | i'm sorry i must apologize up front while we're recording uh my my idiot self had the leg chair of my chair |
| 0:36.3 | sitting on james's mic line I did not notice until after we had |
| 0:40.3 | recorded. I was worried that it was going to affect the audio after I hit stop record and my worries |
| 0:47.2 | were warranted because James' audio was a little gravelly at times. I contemplated not posting this, but I feel that the conversation is |
| 0:57.0 | still able to be listened to if you can put up with the noise, and it's an important one, |

| 1:32.5 | They're helping us stack Sats. They're helping us save money at merchants. And now they're letting us send and withdraw Bitcoin to and from the app, which is pretty cool. They're letting |
| 1:39.2 | you send to Beck 32 addresses as well. So if you want to send straight from Cash App to |
| 1:43.3 | Wasabi or another |
| 1:45.3 | coin joint service like Samurai, that is totally possible now. And then on top of that, yeah, |
| 1:52.0 | they got the boost card. You can personalize that. I used it this morning. Again, another low time |
| 1:57.0 | preference move, excuse me, high time preference move, went and bought coffee, but I did save a |
| 2:01.1 | dollar. And every time I go to Whole Foods, I use it, say 5%. So go down to your local app store today |
| 2:08.8 | when there's Google or Apple, download the cash app. And then when you download it, make sure you use |
