Eric Weinstein on Bitcoin - WBD356

Location: Los Angeles Date: Thursday 27th May Project: Thiel Capital Role: MD Bitcoin can be a toxic place. If you question a narrative or fall on the wrong side of a debate, you will quickly find yourself on the receiving end of the 'bitcoin plebs', and rarely a day passes without a fight of some kind exploding on Twitter. Earlier this year, Eric Weinstein found himself amongst a heated discussion after challenging the narratives of bitcoiners across Clubhouse and Twitter. Eric is a cultural commentator who has been aware of Bitcoin since as early as 2010. Whilst supporting Bitcoin and the community, he does not consider himself a bitcoiner. In this interview, we discuss Bitcoin maximalism & toxicity, Elon Musk and whether Bitcoin fixes everything. My friend Travis Kling joins me as co-host for this episode. Hosted on Acast.
