Apple's podcast play, Netflix's rough quarter, and a listener mail on crypto's carbon footprint

I've been thinking a lot about crypto, and I think the discussion around the environment, it's a worthwhile discussion... I think there's a much bigger concern around crypto that doesn't get nearly the attention it should—and that is its threat to the USD as the default currency.

Spotify has done an amazing job ... They've been able to distill an entire medium down to one app, one button, and organize it all. Podcasts, songs, Tom Petty, George Michael—it's all in one place.

If you only let your kids watch Netflix and don't let them watch ad-supported television, they save between something like 9 to 13 days a year just in commercials.

Crypto is now consuming more electricity than Argentina—and it really is an issue. The power consumption here and then the subsequent carbon footprint is a real issue.
