Podcasts Clips
I didn’t publish any new clips this week, but I’m almost finished the Stack Sats website upgrade to allow better sorting and filtering of episodes and clips directly from my website.
Stack Sats
This week I released an MVP Sats to USD converter to help people understand how much sats are worth. I plan to add other fiat currencies, and enable two-way price inputs next.
I’m also still working on my latest guide explaining how to Stack Sats on Mash and working on migrating my podcast content to Stack Sats.
