A History of Technology-Driven Social Movements with Brian De Mint (WiM360)
The "What is Money?" Show
The Minority Rule and Bitcoin Adoption
The chapter discusses the concept of the minority rule and its impact on meat production and Bitcoin adoption. It also explores the benefits of decentralization and anonymity in decentralized movements.
Brian De Mint joins me to discuss the impact of technology on society, the psychology of totalitarianism, the importance of self-responsibility, and the incentive structure of Bitcoin.
Brian is an entrepreneur with a decade of market strategy experience. He is the author of Bitcoin Evangelism and works as the head of Marketing at Orange Pill App.
