The Gradually, Then Suddenly series by Parker Lewis on the Unchained Capital blog is an excellent resource for readers with any level of knowledge.
Bitcoin is not intuitive at first, and these articles cover many of the most common sticking points people come across when they fall down the rabbit hole. Parker's writings deeply examine the value proposition of Bitcoin from a first-principles basis.
To truly understand Bitcoin, one must answer the question: what is money?
In this interview, I talk to Parker Lewis, Head of Business Development at Unchained Capital. We discuss money as a coordination function of society, Bitcoin's energy usage, and why you cannot copy Bitcoin.
