Bitcoin Doesn't Care About Your Politics: Why Bitcoin Has More Ideological Flexibility Than We Think


Listen Later

Falling down the proverbial bitcoin rabbit hole tends to lead people to ask deep questions about the nature of the economy and society. Today’s Breakdown guests are all professionally trained to ask those sorts of questions as philosophers. 

NLW is joined by:

Andrew Bailey, Yale-NUS College @resistancemoney

Bradley Rettler, University of Wyoming @rettlerb

Craig Warmke, Northern Illinois University @craigwarmke

The three form a research collective called Resistance Money and are working on a book about bitcoin’s use helping individuals overcome infringement by states and other institutions. 

On this episode they discuss bitcoin’s ideological flexibility and situate it in the context of the larger political landscape.
