TD₿: Is Bitcoin a Currency of Distrust? - (a Swan original series) with Dante Cook
TL;DR: Is it open, borderless, censorship-resistant, decentralized, publicly verifiable, and neutral? If it's not, it's not a blockchain. It's bullshit... Don't trust. Verify!
Hey Bitcoiners,
In this episode, Dante looks at a viral clip released today by Yuval Noah Harari, who says Bitcoin is a currency of distrust. Is it? And why should we put any trust in our current fiat overlords in the first place?
With Bitcoin once again over $70K and Bitcoin Pizza Day coming up tomorrow, we also thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane at one particular hater, Peter Zeihan.
Enjoy!
Tick tock next block,
Cory Klippsten
