This was a really fantastic conversation. It was so interesting to hear so many of the details behind tiger beetle. And Joran is a very very good storyteller and the way he explained everything. Just made it a pleasure to listen to. This project is really exciting. Can't wait to see where and how it gets deployed across the world!

Is there a version without the blinking text at the bottom ? It is extremely distracting

[@TheGeekNarrator]

Sorry for that. I have removed the captions from all my recent videos. Here is an alternative you can choose to listen, but watching is the same experience. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kaivalya-apte/episodes/TigerBeetle-Worlds-Fastest-Financial-Transactions-Database-e2g5qur

@@TheGeekNarrator Thank you ! The content is very good, i moved the video frame down so its out of sight. Btw the tech behind the subtitles is awesome and quality is great, it was just very distracting when trying to just watch.
