E22 - Bitcoin Maximalists Are Selling Real Estate To Buy More Bitcoin

from Future Signal · host Jarrett Carpenter

According to coinmarketcap.com there are currently more than 19 thousand cryptocurrencies that can be bought and sold either through centralized or decentralized exchanges, however there is only one Bitcoin. But, this idea often gets lost among the newly created DAO and DeFi projects and the literal open sea of NFTs where seemingly every brand is about to drop their own NFT project. The more I dive into the world of blockchain, the more I feel people have gotten bored with Bitcoin likely due it’s simplicity and so they’re onto the next project of promise searching for a mix of economic and social upward mobility. And yet, there is an ever growing community of people around the globe that are becoming Bitcoin maximalists which, according to investopedia , "are those that believe that Bitcoin, which is the world's most popular cryptocurrency, is the only digital asset that will be needed in the future. They believe that all other digital currencies are inferior to Bitcoin."  When I think of a Bitcoin maximalist I think of Michael Saylor, Max Keiser, Saifedean Ammous and now I’ll add gclef05 to the list. Gclef05 is this episode’s guest’s Twitter handle and I call him Gclef for short. I have long been looking for a Bitcoin maximalist to join the podcast and well, todays the day and gclef is here to as he put it “orange pill all of my subscribers”. The orange pill being the third option not shown to Neo by Morpheus in the matrix which leads to another world of possibilities - a bitcoin world  As a footnote to this episode, the Netflix documentary I was trying to think of is entitled CAPITAL IN THE 21st CENTURY and the hype cycle that GClef05 mentioned is called the Gartner Hype Cycle.
