The Agora Podcast with Byron Reese The Agora Podcast with Byron Reese The Agora Podcast with Byron Reese is a celebration of human civilization, of big ideas, big visions and big dreams. Like the Agora of Ancient Greece where people came together, this Agora is a place to discuss ideas, debate issues, and collaborate on projects. Replicating that energy and dynamic, host Byron Reese invites his guests to meet him in the Agora to share what they are working on, the problems they are trying to solve, and the passions which drive them forward. A better tomorrow is possible, but it is not a gift. It must be built through hard labor and toil. #TheAgoraPodcast Jumping Frog, The by Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) ciesse "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" is an 1865 short story by Mark Twain. It was also published as "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog." In it, the narrator retells a story he heard from a bartender, Simon Wheeler, at the Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, about the gambler Jim Smiley. Upon discovering a French translation of this story, Twain re-translated the story, word for word and keeping the French grammar structure, back into English. He then published all three versions under the title "The Jumping Frog: In English, Then in French, and Then Clawed Back Into A Civilized Language Once More by Patient, Unremunerated Toil." (Summary by Wikipedia) The Coin Hope IG They say the coin's just air, a fleeting illusion, chasing shadows in a world of confusion.Fiats crumble, their value fades, as people toil, their dreams delayed.The market's dance, a deceptive game, promises riches, but it's all the same.Inflation rises, savings fall, the working class bears the brunt of it all.The pockets empty, only air remains, a cycle of toil, a world of chains. The ignorant speak, but truth is clear, our money is fleeting, and will disappear. So heed the warning, open your eyes, the value of money is built on lies. Seek true wealth,not market's Paper chase,for in the end, it's Bitcoin that sets the pace.
