What this episode covers
Stephen Cole joins me to talk about his journey from Silicon Valley angel investor to full-time Bitcoin builder. We discuss what it was like discovering Bitcoin in 2013, lessons from the Blocksize Wars, why he went all-in on BTC, and how to evaluate Bitcoin startups with Bitcoin as your hurdle rate. We also dive into his work at Castle, the risks of Bitcoin treasury companies, and whether state adoption is bullish or a trap. Stephen Cole is an angel investor in over 50 startups and founder of Exit Capital and Castle.
