The Next 10 Years Will Decide Bitcoin’s Future | Brandon Quittem

from What Bitcoin Did

“In my opinion, not just Bitcoin, but the direction of society for our lifetimes and our kids’ lifetimes will be decided in the next five to ten years.” Brandon Quittem is back on the show to get into whether Bitcoin can survive its transition from a countercultural movement into a global financial asset without losing the qualities that make it revolutionary. We discuss the growing concentration of bitcoin in custodians and ETFs, the threat of paper Bitcoin, the importance of protecting self-custody, and why cultural apathy may be Bitcoins biggest danger. We also get into the Fourth Turning, institutional decay, AI, political polarisation and the battle between centralised control and individual sovereignty.
