READY RADIO: Crypto, Power Walls, and Grid-Down Survival. 12-19-25
from Drive Radio · host John Rush
Ready Radio, hosted by John Rush and co-hosted by Bill Anderson, delivers a fast-moving hour that blends financial preparedness with real-world survival skills. First, John welcomes first-time guests Freddy Freeman and Mike Morris from Colorado TexitCoin (https://coloradotxc.org/), who break down crypto in plain language. What exactly is a geo-locked, U.S.-based digital currency? Could owning a share of a massive Texas crypto mine create long-term, generational opportunity? And how do everyday people even begin to understand wallets, security, and volatility in a world full of new coins? But Ready Radio doesn’t stop at money — it pivots straight into what happens when the grid goes dark. With recent power outages fresh on everyone’s mind, John and Bill dig into backup power, generators, and battery “power walls.” How much power do you really need? What are your critical loads when the furnace, fridge, and well pump must stay alive? Is a whole-house generator worth it, or can layered solutions get you through? They explore real costs, shared circuits, fuel choices, and how battery systems can work hand in hand with generators and even solar. The conversation goes deeper with listener calls and practical advice: learning from multi-day outages, prioritizing survival over convenience, and even using EVs as a potential backup power source. From crypto security fears to staying warm when the lights go out, this episode asks the questions every family should be thinking about. Are you prepared for financial shifts and grid failure? Could smarter planning today make all the difference tomorrow? This is Ready Radio — preparing you to be ready for anything.
