In this episode, I was joined by fellow Australian ACE696 , who happens to live not far north of me here in Queensland. And that’s not where our similarities end. We both got into crypto around the same time and had similar adventures in that sector, we both stumbled into Upland, and we’ve both made active community engagement and UGC map asset content creation one of our main personal hobbies. Which, as we both agree, isn’t a ‘normal’ sort of thing to do for blokes of our age and backgrounds. W...
