In this episode of The Unhashed Podcast: This week, more than one research firm published reports about the true trading volumes of several of the largest exchanges, like binance and coinbene.

Are maximalists turning into the Bitcoin equivalent of social justice warriors by calling for the deplatforming of prominent yet hated people in the community or is ignoring stupidity the best way forward? And...the Bitmain IPO has officially died. Is this a grim omen of the things to come for Bitmain or can they keep it together long enough for the new leadership to turn the ship around and buy some good will among bitcoiners once more?0:00:00 Introduction0:03:03 Studies Indicate Fake Trading Volume0:22:40 Maximalism and Deplatforming0:33:05 Amary Sechet leaves Bitcoin Unlimited dev team0:40:21 Bitcoin IPO Filing Expires0:47:07 Blockstream Green1:00:29 ICOMG - Sponsy1:10:03 Lightning RoundMake sure to check out Billfodl for all your hardware wallet backup needs
