Just enjoy the podcasts, get involved and you will earn for free.
This is exactly how I'm thinking about it too. If LTBc increases in price then great and there are many reasons already listed why it can increase in price. If not we're still making very nice profit even given the lower price. Still far higher profits then any signature campaigns or faucets can offer.
But I will be listening to podcasts and reading articles on LTB anyway, additional profit is a nice bonus. I was listening to LTB podcast way before any LTBcoin was paid and I totally enjoyed it.
