crypto taxes and a saga of struggle

Follow the @SolfatePod show on Twitter for updates. Thanks for listening frens :)

Notes from the show

Nick gets the mythical email to order his Solana Mobile phone but struggles to do so. In the meantime, we talk about the game change we expect the Saga phone to be.

Also taxes. Nick and James talk broadly about how the US handles crypto taxes, which is…less than good…. So we spitball on some options.

Then Nick reveals his unique day job.

Huge shout out to Jeffrey Ando (@ser_ando) for the amazing AI generated cover art!
