In this episode of DemystifySci, we peer into the very separate roots of banking and blockchain finance to find what’s alive beneath the myth. Bitcoin guru and amateur mycologist, Brandon Quittem, joins us to trace the fall of old empires and the rise of a new code-born freedom. The conversation drifts between history and possibility, where gold becomes data and control slips through the fingers of the elite. What remains is a question: can money succeed without those who steer its value?
