Breaking Bad (2008-2013) comes close I suppose. It started earlier though.
Sons of Anarchy (2008-2014) kind of fits this. The followup Mayans are not as good though.
As a stretch to the requirements maybe Billions (2016-2023)?
I agree though it wasn't easy to come up with a few examples and it doesn't cover it without reservations.

Speaking of wasabi and blockexplorers. When you open mempool.space it claims it can show the CJ transactions but it shows basically nothing, only a block here and there. Do the newly implemented coordinators do the CJ so differently so it's not shown there or nobody is using CJ anymore for real?

You provide lots of great content so I'm sorry for longer answer but I'm trying to give back a little here.
Keep in mind that usually the older the movie the more time tested it is ie. If somebody still remembers it after 20, 30, 40 years then it's very good proof there really is something there.
I read through the thread and there are lots of good suggestions already so I can't in this moment without researching my library provide good answer.
Also narrowing down your favourite genre would help a lot (or at least saying what you don't particularly like as genre).
If you would allow longer timeframe here are some of my all time favourites:
Idiocracy (2006), smart comedy about the end of the World
Office Space (1999), smart IT comedy from pre Y2K time
Margin Call (2011), extremely good drama from financial world
Airplane! (1980), insanely good silly comedy which I never heard of until recently but was somewhere listed on top as laughs-per-minute basis, I do agree it was lots of short giggles.

I'm starting to get forced login requests to YouTube as they don't like my IP address so for me the platform is dead anyway. I'm not going to create an account and then login every time I start browser to watch some video.

Makes me wonder how can USA be #2 and Canada #4 https://www.henleyglobal.com/publications/henley-private-wealth-migration-report-2024/top-10-country-inflows
Do those smaller places have super long tail and is lost in the overview or how is this possible?

Can you share more how did you replace each app that you used with Google over the years?

Broken Money by Lyn Alden. I read quite a bit but nothing summarizes the current situation like this one. If you really had to choose one and only one book this is it.
I would recommend it even to baby boomer real estate investor but I think it's unlikely they would listen as they tend see the world in a different way. It's difficult for them to admit that they have been wrong that's usually the biggest issue.
Nobody these days says "Sorry, I was wrong about this." It's not to make me or you feel better it's for themselves to move on. To clean up and start over.

With all due respect supporting only Google phones feels like obvious problem. Has there ever been an independent security audit of those phones and/or GrapheneOS? If you take security seriously it's rather important. If it's even doable I would donate to such a project.

I'm familiar with this article. I run my own email servers for more than a decade on both VPS and physical servers. If you want 99.99% deliverability you have to give up self sovereignty and stick with gmail. If you're ok with 99% deliverability and not sending spam aka "newletters" then self hosting is fine. Good workaround is to use individual websites contact forms when sending an initial inquiry/request then the followups are easier.

Depends on whether they prefer to read or to watch and how deep are they in the rabbit hole. There is no "one size fits all" especially when it comes to learning.

The most important is the podcast selection. Faster speed is fine but only for certain narrators (ie Peter Schiff who talks really slow and seldom brings any new ideas) and only up to certain speed for me the sweet spot is about 1.1x speed. Schiff I can do at 1.2x or 1.25x.

I'm a bit late but for other listeners out there - if the podcast is on YouTube and has (at least) automatically generated subtitles you can find various YouTube subtitle downloaders (just search) and there is your transcript. No 3rd party tools installation required.

Why is it called Wasabi coordinator if it uses BTCPay&Nostr? I suppose it's a Wasabi-like coordinator? Honest question, not trolling.

Underrated comment 👍. This would probably sell well 👍.

The absolute numbers are already quite old so I'll use relative comparison. Also you didn't ask about timeframe so I'll say in the next 20 years:
Gaining dominance:
* BTC half the market cap of gold. (Let's be real, it's still 5x from now and gold probably won't do "nothing")
* Money probably tripling (again percentage wise - lots of people will be too scared to put it anywhere and in the end choose nothing)
Loosing dominance:
* Real estate cut in half. (Young normies totally priced out, higher concentration of ownership, top properties gaining more, everything else loosing a lot all the way down to near utility value.)
* Bonds loosing at least 1/3 if not more (regulations will make this slow, we don't have free market)
* Stocks overall probably about the same but even more concentration in fewer stocks. On relative basis it will look smaller.
Probably "small" gainers:
* Gold doubling on relative basis, taking away from the above.
* Art& Collectibles - doubling on relative basis. It's tiny so it will grow fast.

I would like to join this question. If the nostr.hu domain is seized (happened many times with domains before) how would even technologically savvy person immediately know the mirror is running on for example nostr.se or any other domain? Genuine question, not trolling.

First thing that comes to mind as a store alternative is F-Droid as it has been around for years. Why is zapstore better or what is really better here? Are the apks hosted on decentralized basis so it's censorship proof? Not clear from the website or by first look on GitHub.

Can you share a link/podcast name? I'm curious :). Thank you.

Telegram seems to have problem. Good to have decentralized alternative.

I use multiple.
Depends what you need it for (is it serving 1k visitors per day or 100k?) and where your customer base is.
Not all hosts have datacenters around the world and you don't want to load data from US west coast or Japan if your customers are mostly in Europe.
It's like asking what car do you usually drive and if somebody said a lambo and you need to fit in family of 4 then it doesn't work... So specify your needs and maybe I can help you navigate the space.
The above mentioned Dreamhost used to be decent but have datacenters only on US west coast.
Never heard of lunanode but they seem to offer only VPS which might be an overkill for your needs (and have datacenters only in Toronto).
