“It’s already the reserve currency of the internet which is a global phenomenon so it’s already the reserve currency of the digital world, so it’s already won, Bitcoin has won.”
— American HODL

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Location: Remotely
Date: Thursday 6th August
Role: N/A, Angel Investor, Author & Entrepreneur

Most Bitcoiners are staunch believers in the technology's potential to facilitate a more honest, fair and prosperous future. 

Bitcoin emerged from the unifying values of crypto-liberty, but as its appeal grows, so does the diversity of the beliefs surrounding it. 

It wouldn't be possible or beneficial for Bitcoin's ideology to become homogenised, but certain values need to be upheld, and a balance must be found in rejecting bad ideas while welcoming new ones.

But if the ultimate goal is to bring Bitcoin to the entire world, how can a leaderless movement bring that to fruition?

In this interview, I talk to American HODL and Angel Investor and Author Jason Williams. We discuss the negatives of cancel culture, asset inflation, buying Lambos and how bitcoiners can manifest the future.
