NEW EPISODE

“The big concern is the emailification of Bitcoin.”

@Aaron van Wirdum spent 13 years covering Bitcoin and wrote The Genesis Book tracing its lineage back to DigiCash in the 90s. His warning: the protocol survives, but everyone interacts through custodial middlemen. SMTP still exists. Nobody runs their own mail server.

We talk pre-Bitcoin failures, the block size wars, mining centralization, and why incremental regulation is a bigger threat than a 51% attack.

S03E03 is out now for supporters, tomorrow for all.
