Ep 54. Crypto is Dead, With Erik Cason

For episode 54, I’m joined by the one and only, Erik Cason This man, as you well know, is the original Bitcoin Philosopher, and fucking all round legend. I love speaking with him. He's simultaneously eloquent, brutal, brilliant, precise, nuanced and everything you could imagine in a savant / genius. Extremely underrated and underflowed on the bird app, so if you're not following him there, then wtf are you doing with your life? There is some beeping in the background, thanks to the power going out in Costa Rica at the time of the recording. We discuss: - Writing, speaking & structuring one's thoughts - Language and thinking - Bitcoin elitism - Fuck you, DO NOT buy Bitcoin. Please go ahead & buy the next NFT. You deserve it - Philosophy, Metaphysics, Politics & History - But much roads? Fuck the roads - Transitioning away from Crypto...unfortunately the term has been coopted and turned to shit - "It's not the same this time" - Crypto trying to do mass adoption by partnering with the state & existing institutions - Bitcoin just ignoring it all, is incompatible with it all, and makes it all obsolete - Is the crypto & blockchain horseshit a trojan horse that enables the state to blow itself up? - Or is it an attack vector on Bitcoin? And so much more... Now stfu and listen to Cason & I TED talk.

Wake up is dedicated to helping ensure V for Vendetta and 1984 remain works of fiction. Topics will include Bitcoin, Money, Freedom, Philosophy, Psychology, Science, Ethics & more
