Rabbit Hole Recap is currently sponsored by Unchained Capital and Coinkite. Potential sponsors are screened heavily and they understand our opinions are not for sale. We hold our sponsors to a high standard and are often critical of them. I hope to move to a listener funded ad-free model as soon as possible.

Citadel Dispatch is a free and open project that is 100% audience funded. It has never and will never have ads or sponsors. All sats donated are held in cold storage to help fund the project long term. Search Citadel Dispatch in your favorite podcast app and click subscribe!

Investment Disclosure

I am a managing partner at the largest bitcoin venture fund in the world - Ten31. Our team has deployed over $100M to support bitcoin companies and projects over the last two years. There is no promise of paid promotion or endorsement in those agreements. You can find a full list of our portfolio on our website.

Advisor Disclosure

I advise many bitcoin companies and founders in the space. Currently five have given me small equity positions in return - BottlePay, Hoseki, Hexa Wallet, Pleblab, and SwanBitcoin. There is no promise of paid promotion or endorsement in those agreements. I will use my position as an advisor to help make the above products the best they can be but it should not be considered an endorsement.
