Bitcoin and the Global Trust Deficit with Jamil Hasan

On this episode of Untold Stories, my friend Jamil Hasan, currently the program director of the “Crypto Corner,” a weekend podcast series hosted by Irish Tech News, turns the spotlight on me. A few of the conversation topics discussed in the interview included: how I got into Bitcoin and Crypto, Bitcoin’s role on the macro-landscape, how to level up your life, disruptive technologies and much more. We begin our conversation by discussing the early days of Bitcoin and how my team and I bootstrapped BitInstant, the first venture-backed Bitcoin company. We also touch on how the Bitcoin industry changed dramatically over a small period of time and how the Bitcoin community has changed over time. Our conversation transitions to War Games and Bitcoin’s role in the macro politico-economic landscape. We discuss the degradation of the dollar as the global reserve currency and the possibility of the escalated conflicts in the age of information. A very interesting topic of discussion was the impact of global conflict on financial equilibrium and Bitcoin. Our conversation transitions to the topic of disruptive technologies. We discuss the impact of the print press on literacy rates and the democratization of knowledge and information. A very interesting talking point was how the feudal power structure of the past attempted to stifle the dissemination of information by imprisoning people who used the printing press to share information to the general population. We finish our incredible conversation by discussing how anyone can take advantage of the Digital Renaissance. I give advice to anyone who is interested in leveling up their life should consider becoming a domain expert in any of the sub categories of the crypto industry.
