Topic: Beanie Coin

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak thank the executive producers for episode 964, titled "Born This Way." Jonathan Calvert is recognized for a $666 donation, and the hosts discuss the growth of the No Agenda Social Mastodon instance. A new knight, Sir Johnny the Swamp Knight, is inducted into the No Agenda roundtable following a discussion on the "beanie coin" and dating in Washington DC.

Progress is reported on "Beanie Coin," a proposed cryptocurrency for the No Agenda listener network intended to create a merchant ecosystem. Meanwhile, mainstream financial reporting on CNBC regarding the Bitcoin "fork" into Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash is criticized for being technically shallow. The hosts explore the potential for a "Curry Coin" to target the Indian market following recent currency reforms.

A discussion on the volatility of Bitcoin leads to a proposal for a show-specific cryptocurrency called "Beanie Coin." The concept involves creating a market where listeners can trade coins for show content or use them for donations, potentially allowing the hosts and audience to "retire simultaneously." The technical possibility of distributing the podcast via blockchain to track engagement and support is also explored.
