Christian Johnson is back for episode 550 with an update on Maple Grove Partners, his take on the current crypto space and markets. We wrap the show with a good hard look at some motherboards, memory and hard drives for Jim’s new build. Always good to have Christian in the house! Thanks for listening.

As you know, I am a big technology Geek. However, after just listened to recent podcast on bitcoin mining, there was no mention of the cost of mining to society. Proponents of bitcoin never to mention the monetary and the environment (among others) costs for a few using scare resources to benefit themselves (the potential to make them rich). Here are just a few articles you may find of interest.
