Bitcoin is a Pioneer Species with Brandon Quittem (WiM161)
The "What is Money?" Show
The Pioneer Species
The direct monitization of energy transforms these traditional divisions we have between industries, like it almost pulls them into one. Then the other piece, that is f you layr on some financial services on top of that, it's yer like, energy producer, meat, bit coin miner, meat, bank, like all all in one.
Brandon Quittem joins me for a discussion to deconstruct the often misunderstood relationship between energy and Bitcoin. This conversation also touches on points from Brandon’s article “Bitcoin is a Pioneer Species” where he uses an ecological framework to map out the abundant future of Bitcoin mining. (apologies: we lost Robert's camera footage on this episode)
