 Thanks Big Boss Bear I'm pleased it works for you. 

My only thought process is that my show style clearly doesn't appeal to the Bitcoin masses or I'd have a much larger following, so I continuously question if the format I have been using since April 2018 is really any good as others have gone from nothing to 20k followers in a year and I've only just cleared 2k followers when the Biotcoin messsage is so so very important!!

Sorry just sounding off my frustration - I guess 'the masses' want crypto bro garbage and that's not me!!

 Yes, there is a stark contrast between crypto influencers/ bitcoin only. You are right difference can be as much as 20 times in terms of followers.

I do keep an eye on crypto stuff, but most of the crypto channels, I can't bear to watch, many of them are really pretty bad.

The only crypto / alt im seriously considering to buy in the future is Monero. Last few months I've realised bitcoin privacy issue might be problematic and privacy is important if establishment try to come after you. I'm still seriously bullish on bitcoin. And I think lightning and other strategies could be used with bitcoin to resolve privacy issue. Hard to predict how things could play out in the future. I've also not done enough research into monero to understand it fully. 
It would be interesting, if monero becomes big enough and establishment try to ban it, this would be a good case study to look at, because its possible establishment could come after bitcoin afterwards. As they say bitcoin can't be banned, similarly I don't believe Monero can be banned either.

I think keeping your channel bitcoin only is good. There are some interesting ideas in crypto sector, but its 99% crap, even so called good projects seem pretty shit, 1% are too difficult to clearly find.

One thing I would say, when  something gets too big, it often gets taken over, without even realising. And the core message gets lost.  So when you say you wish you had more followers, be careful what you wish for. 

But I agree you could atleast have 10 times the followers you currently have, and still stay true to the core message. 

I've been looking at potential countries I might want to move to. Although uk budget wasn't as bad as it could have been I'm still interested in getting out UK, don't necessarily agree with current direction. All the countries I've come across, the pattern is they are all small countries. Its almost like when a country gets too big, it gets corrupted or taken over. The core message gets lost. Similarly same seems to apply to groups, organisations, or even a youtube channel. So I wonder why this is? 

Sorry Brian I've gone off on one again.

Yeah its a good aim to have to grow your subscribers, you could certainly be much bigger before having to worry about losing your core message and being overtaken so to speak. If I think of any suggestions will let you know. 

You are a pleasure to watch Brian  its a good format you've created, you great in my book 👍
