In this episode, Dave Hollerith talks with A Boy Named Pseu (Phil Gibson). He is a libertarian writer and podcaster whose journey in understanding Bitcoin is more recent yet rooted by a longterm interest in Austrian economics and agorism. To test his understanding of what actually happened to Bitcoin in 2019, Pseu recently wrote a Medium post, "Bitcoin Is Dead." In it he argues why Bitcoin's growth stands out as uniquely different from how it has been portrayed by mainstream media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal. Topics of discussion: Understanding Bitcoin as an educational growth opportunity Bitcoin Is Dead - high-level concepts and real-world examples for newcomers on what happened to Bitcoin in 2019.
