Bitcoin 101 with Brad Mills

I fell down the rabbit hole and have been following Bitcoin since 2011. The Magic Internet Money podcast is my evolving journey in the world of cryptocurrency as I try to reconcile my bitcoin maximalist philosophy & my respect for the Austrian Economic, Libertarian, and Cypherpunk roots of bitcoin's creation with the desire to stack BTC by investing in the rest of the space. I hope you enjoy the conversations.

Also, the establishment is not going to be exactly elated about something that could potentially topple it all.

Bitcoin vs Altcoins with NotSoFast

My name is Brad Mills, I am a Bitcoiner. I am not a coder, I look at Bitcoin through the lens of a user & I believe BTC is the best form of money. It’s free speech money. Digital Gold. Programmable money for the age of the internet, uncensorable, peer to peer cash. A new asset class, a store of value. One of the most important open source inventions of our time, gifted to the world by an anonymous creator whose identity is still not known!
