YouTube comments on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 are a great reminder to never give a fuck what critics have to say.

When you create something, no matter what you do, there will *always* be people who hate the way you do it.

For example, one critic absolutely HATES my voice (probably because he’s used to low T Ethereum podcasters with high-pitched voices).

But someone else thinks it’s “the coolest voice for a podcast host. hands down.”

That’s great to hear, because it’s my voice and I don’t plan on changing it. I’ll even forgive them for calling me “Walter” because it’s such a nice comment.

The point is, some people create, others criticize.

If you’re a creator, keep on creating. There are more people out there that appreciate what you do than people who hate how you do it.

Thanks for coming to my #Titcoin TED Talk. 🫂

If you don't have haters you're doing something wrong

Amen to that.

Have you ever read audiobooks? I mean, have you ever been the person using their voice to record/create the audio book?

I’m going to be narrating an audiobook over the next couple months. Book is going to be pretty huge, I think, and I’m very honored the author asked me to do it.

I’ve done a lot of “Bitcoin Out Loud” reads on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 and also am working my way through Mises’ Six Lessons for my #AustrianAudible series, so that’s good practice.

I love audiobooks. Your voice is great for it. One factor that matters is clarity of speech, especially when listening at 3.5x. It takes patience and diligence to make sure one speaks well…I’m sure there’s an art or science behind it, but some people just can’t be understood at high speed.

I truly appreciate your kind words 🙏

But wait, do you seriously listen at **3.5x** speed?!? That is wild…

I’m definitely going to be extremely diligent about my speech and pace it well so it handles increased listening speeds, but DAMN 3.5x?!

Yup. I started listening fast in medical school for studying for US medical licensing exam. It took me a while to work up to 3.5x, but now that’s my standard for judging a good speaker/reader on audible. I’ve listened to 432 audiobooks over the last 20 years or so this way, most in the last 5 years.

Anyhow, most read audiobooks at like ½ - ¾ speed anyways, so it’s not like a YouTube going that fast (were it possible)…but YouTube at 2x is painfully slow for me. I only listen to stuff I can play at 2x

Your name is not Walter? 🤯

It’s Walker 🤙

love your voice. I get a boner every single time -- kidding. I thought that you used something to lower your pitch. great voice!

nothing wrong with deep sexy sound of another bitcoin podcast. transcribing and reading is still a comcompliment, just inefficient

It always makes me think of Lego: Batman & then I think you should do a Lego: Bitman parody. Lego would probably sue you though.
