Bitcoin Rapid-Fire

Lawrence H. White is a professor of economics at George Mason University, and a senior fellow at the Cato Institute. He is considered an expert on banking and monetary policy, and has written a number of books on money and banking including,  The Clash of Economic Ideas (Cambridge University Press, 2012), The Theory of Monetary Institutions (Basil Blackwell, 1999), Free Banking in Britain (2nd ed., Institute of Economic Affairs, 1995), and Competition and Currency (NYU Press, 1989).

Recently I’ve been more vocal on twitter about gold’s failings as ‘money'. On one of those posts, Lawrence responded, and a lengthy back-and-forth ensued. It was suggested that we move the conversation over to a podcast format for a more in-depth discussion. Keyvan Devani (Total Bitcoin Podcast) and Daniel Prince (Once BITten podcast) thought it might be fun to join in on the action too. Despite my thinking that this may cause Lawrence to feel as though he would be ganged-up on, he agreed to come on for a chat, so we put it together!

Enjoy!

Zuby is a rapper, author, coach and all-around free-thinking individual. He’s not afraid to speak his mind, nor change his mind if new information or perspectives dictate it’s rational to do so. These qualities always draw me to people. It reflects a mind that is open to learning, and not overtaken by popular ideologies or socio-cultural narratives.

I’m even more intrigued, when such a perspective leads people to discovering and seeing the value in bitcoin, and this is exactly what happened with Zuby.

Lately, Zuby has be discussing bitcoin on his podcast, as well as on twitter, and I thought it would be fun to have him on to hear his story and learn what he finds so interesting about it.

Enjoy!

Parker Lewis is the Head of Business Development at Unchained Capital, a bitcoin native financial services firm based in Austin, Texas. Aside from the great work he and unchained are doing, Parker has become known for contributing to the space in the form of his excellent blog series entitled ‘Gradually, Then Suddenly’. In this series, Parker explores some of the main misconceptions around bitcoin, as well as some of the major economic and social implications it’s adoption may have.

In this conversation, we touch on some new developments at Unchained, the current economic crisis, and speculate on how money and financial markets might function in a bitcoin-denominated world.

Enjoy!

Brandon Quittem is the writer behind the absolutely brilliant 4-part series exploring the similarities and implications between the structure, functioning and impact of mycelium (the underground network which gives rise to mushrooms), and bitcoin. Brandon released part 4 of his series this week, which is titled 'Bitcoin is a Catalyst for Human Evolution (Symbiosis)'. 

As it turns out, both myself and Brady, the host of the Citizen Bitcoin podcast (one of my all-time favourites), were eager to hop on a pod with Brandon to discuss, so we decided it might be fun to experiment and explore this final installment of Brandon's excellent series together. 

Unsurprisingly, in addition to being extremely enjoyable, it got 'cosmic' very quickly. 

I love these guys, and it's always such a pleasure to get to 'hang' with them. 

Hope you enjoy it too!

This is a re-publish of an interview I did on ‘The Canadian Investor’ podcast last week. I decided to share it here because I was curious to see if it would be a good resource for people who have not yet begun their journey down the proverbial bitcoin ‘rabbit-hole’. The two hosts come from a traditional investing background, and are not very familiar with bitcoin. However, they were receptive to what I was saying, and it seemed as though by the end of the discussion they were much more interested in learning more, so I thought, maybe it would have the same effect on others with a similar perspective.

I’d love to hear your feedback on this episode. Both on how I articulated some of the main points of bitcoin, and the responses or feedback from any ‘noobs’ you forward it to.

Enjoy!

Jason Williams is the Founder and CEO of PRTI, a company that uses patented technology to turn used or unsaleable tires into fuel, which is then used to mine bitcoin. He is also the Co-Founder and General Partner of Morgan Creek Digital Assets, an experienced entrepreneur with a $500 million exit to his name, as well as a prolific angel investor.

I'm extremely excited by the potential for bitcoin mining to revolutionize the energy industry, so I invited Jason to come on the show to discuss the role his company is playing in this, as well as to touch on some of the other exciting things happening around bitcoin today.

Enjoy!

Emil Standstedt is the author of the book “Money Dethroned: A Historical Journey. He also writes about the history of money at his blog bdratings.org. In his writings, Emil has highlighted many of the irresponsible and reckless treatments of money in past era’s. Of course, we are in another era of extreme manipulation and destruction of the main money in use around the world (fiat money), so I thought it would be interesting to have Emil on to explore some of the comparisons between now and the monetary disasters of the past, and look forward to where we may be headed.

Enjoy!

Didi Taihuttu is from the Netherlands, and is the patriarch of what has become known as 'The Bitcoin Family'. In the fall of 2017, Didi convinced his wife that bitcoin was the future, and that they should sell everything they owned, invest it all in bitcoin, and with their three daughters, travel around the world proselytizing for it. So they did!

Since that time, Didi and his family have been educating, speaking and sharing their journey with the world.

In this chat we discuss his disappointment in how many in the bitcoin space have responded to the Covid-19 crisis, his experiences with Ayahuasca, what all the media attention has been like, and what he and the family have planned next.

Enjoy!
