If you want to avoid stress in your life it's probably best to avoid fintech, defi and online money.

In Episode #222 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: how we as Mere Mortals fail all the time, the Avastar NFT and Juan's debacle in trying to get one, my experience 'losing' my money whilst transferring Ethereum, how being on the ball and smart doesn't mean a good outcome will be guaranteed, embracing risk to gain greater rewards, a flashback to some recent episodes, why I am starting a new podcast called 'Value For Value', our differences with regards to nervousness in crowds and some theories on why people do crazy shit like spelunking.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
