Bitcoin's Civil War Is About Saylor — And Brandon Quittem Says It Can't Be Resolved

Brandon Quittem wrote some of the most widely read essays in Bitcoin — The Mycelium of Money, Bitcoin Is A Pioneer Species, Bitcoin In The Rhythms Of History — and spent six and a half years at Swan helping people understand Bitcoin from the ground up. He traces Bitcoin's roots through biomimicry and the cypherpunks, explains why the 21 million cap is arbitrary but "hard to change" is what actually matters, takes on Bitcoin's civil war between cypherpunk purists and treasury company buyers, covers Sean Bill's junk bond analogy for digital credit, asks whether Bitcoin could become BitTorrent, and closes with the Fermi Paradox, multiplanetary civilization, and Bitcoin on Mars.
