018 - Michael Dunworth - Bitcoin for Millennials
Michael Dunworth is the co-founder of Wyre Payments (and the brother of Peter Dunworth, who was a guest in episode 002). And in my opinion, Michael is one of the craziest and smartest brains that I follow in the Bitcoin space. He’s diving into mathematics, cryptography, and thermodynamics, all at the same time. I have been looking forward to chatting with him. This conversation went all over the place and I hope you enjoy it!

017 - Knut Svanholm - Bitcoin for Millennials
Knut Svanholm is a prolific thinker and author of several books on Bitcoin. He writes about the philosophical impacts of Bitcoin and how it can change the world for the better, and his books are by some described as a “guided meditation that soothes the experienced and tutors the uninitiated in the ways of Bitcoin”. In his latest book about Praxeology, Knut talks about this approach to economics and social science, where logic and deductive reasoning alone could provide more robust explanations for people's actions than empiricism ever could. I have already learned so much from Knut’s thinking and I was very excited to talk to him. I hope you enjoy this episode!

013 - Tim Niemeyer - Bitcoin for Millennials
Tim Niemeyer's journey into Bitcoin started in 2018 and is enriched by his diverse background, which encompasses being a USAF avionics technician, insights from his psychology degree, and experience as an elementary teacher. These unique perspectives culminate in his recently published book, 'History Echoes Bitcoin: Understanding the Value of Bitcoin's Properties Through the Lens of History.' In his book, Tim bridges the gap between historical events and the foundational properties of Bitcoin. These properties include permissionlessness, consensus-building, decentralization, trust minimization, censorship resistance, open-source collaboration, immutability, and scarcity. Through his writing, Tim illustrates how each of these qualities has not only been instrumental in the advancement of humanity but also how they collectively form the compelling value proposition of Bitcoin. Each historical parallel in 'History Echoes Bitcoin' serves as a lesson for us to either choose to learn from or ignore. It aims to show how the properties that give Bitcoin its value are each individually beneficial and collectively compelling. Zoom out and you will see! I hope you enjoy this episode.
