The Bit Coin Community
The evolution of the Bitcoin community since 2010 is complex. It started with a combination of independent hackers and libertarians looking for an alternative to gold. Since then, it has taken many paths. Although censorship resistance is still championed, it's hard to decouple the effects from its existence. Overall, there are many ins and outs to the story.
In this episode, we speak to Chris DeRose, software developer and former co-host of the Bitcoin Uncensored podcast, about both the downsides and upsides of cryptocurrencies and the associated technologies. We took the time to dive deep into the subject with Chris and learned about some of the common misconceptions about blockchain technology, the value of cryptocurrencies to society, ways in which the crypto space has evolved, using economic theories to understand financial systems, the definition of money, what he thinks about the associated technologies, the role blockchain technology can have in society and why cryptocurrencies will not replace the dollar.
