The Bitcoin Matrix

This was one of my favorite conversations from 2020, when I first started the show, that I want to share again at this particular moment. I think this episode encapsulates such a wide range of ideas about bitcoin, bitcoiners and monetary freedom and expresses them is such an entertaining and dramatic fashion.  From white collar worker to poker player to Twitter jail. Relevant Peter Schiff has the juice. He hard-forked the irrelevant Peter Schiff Classic with his biting tweets aimed at the frivolous world of fiat.
