We don't mean to spend so much time talking about Reddit even though so much happened this week that we really feel like we have to. We have spoilers, spoilers, spoilers! The gang talks about more than three cards, but I didn't want to keep writing “spoilers.” Here's another spoiler: You only have one week to enter our Photoshop contest before it's all over. Corbin embraces the suck and does an IAMA on Reddit, answering questions about finance for three hours and trying to set the record straight. Finance subreddit subscriptions near 4,000—is this influx of enthusiasts affecting the market adversely? How do they feel about counterfeits? How do you? These questions are addressed, and all things finance are discussed in one of the strongest epi-sodes yet. Are these new fakes out of China a lethal threat to the game? Is Reddit? Is there any stopping the game at this point? Find out the answers to all these questions and more on a no-holds-barred episode of your favorite podcast that will leave you asking, “What holds could you reasonably bar anyway? Holding Mutavaults? I thought you said to sell those.” This is Brainstorm Brewery.
