Regarding Sam's fourth prediction, the rise of community. I like the word, digital town hall, for an online community. Marketplace, portal site, and monetizing the fandom, are all appropriate words, I think. The question is if the "average Joe / Jane" knows about the word, fandom, as it is a saying in certain subcultures. For the freedom of expression, here is a Liberty boost / super comment with 1776 Satoshis. (I had to top up my wallet... ;) ) Best Premises, Martin.

Sam: So if I buy Satoshis with fiat currency, could I then store its value on TrueFans, and then move it to some Bitcoin crypto exchange in the future? I have earned 29,226 sats and paid 526,254 sats on TrueFans.

James: Audio first! I am for video if it adds something to the episode. I have been pondering with this issue, as I have done some live-streaming sessions with Boomcaster, distributed to YouTube, and then using an edited version for the audio episode later on.

thelatebloomeractor: Great idea! I like the note feature here on TrueFans, but I have to use it more. Kevin & Kelly AI assistants will be a great tool in the future!

I agree with you, Si! I want a RSS t-shirt too. Or at least a sticker. How about that, James? ;)
