gm: Dan Held, 'Permissive Bitcoiner'

What this episode covers

Dan Held is an old-school Bitcoiner who has been in the space since the very beginning; he sold his price app ZeroBlock to Blockchain.info in 2013. But while he's largely seen as a Bitcoin maximalist by his half a million fans on Twitter, he tells Dan Roberts and Stacy Elliott he's a "permissive" and "open-minded" Bitcoiner: he's watching the Ethereum Merge closely, and he admits Ethereum's move to proof of stake will put pressure on Bitcoin's energy use. He also talks about gold, privacy, and NFTs. For more from Decrypt, visit decrypt.co and follow @decryptmedia on Twitter. Hosts, guests, and credits: Dan RobertsTwitter: @readDanwrite Stacy ElliottTwitter: @stacyannj Dan HeldTwitter: @danheld Podcast art by Grant Kempster gm from Decrypt is a Redd Rock Music PodcastInstagram: @reddrockmusicwww.reddrockmusic.com Hosted on Acast.
