Chat_127 - The Hijacking Bitcoin Debate [Liberty Lockdown]

2 hours 40 minutes

In a past episode, I joined Steve Patterson and the host for what was supposed to be a discussion but quickly turned into one of the most heated debates I've had on the show. Along with Steve, who co-authored Hijacking Bitcoin with Roger Ver, we dove into a fiery debate about Michael Saylor—his influence, his ideas, and whether Bitcoin has been hijacked.

While we all agreed it wouldn’t be a debate, the conversation sparked intense back-and-forths about Bitcoin’s direction and the potential dangers it faces. It’s a passionate exchange that touches on crucial issues within the Bitcoin space, and it's a conversation that’s well worth sharing.
