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.
