Thank you so much for bringing common sense back to public discourse. In this podcast however, I feel you did challenge Mark in his statements on crypto with the same tenacity as you did with his other statements. Cryptocurrency is cut from the same cloth of irrationality as CRT and promoting it is terrible for the "Honestly" brand. The DeFi coin Mark was promoting has lost 100% of its value in the last week and hurt many of his followers and potentially yours.

You astutely observed on Erika's Token CEO podcast that religion has not disappeared, but rather has been supplanted by new orthodoxies such as critical race theory and cancel culture. Bitcoin is another replacement, replete with Sunday services(1) and baptisms at the Miami pilgrimage(2). At least tithing is limited to 10% of your income. The new Bitcoin church asks that you put 100% of your wealth + borrowed money into the system to enrich its cult leaders.  

I implore you to not give any credence to crypto. Many people will get completely wiped out in its imminent downfall.
