Bitcoin Takeover Podcast

<p>Patrick Miller has been involved in the Bitcoin space since 2013, enjoys writing articles and research papers about the value proposition of BTC as opposed to scammy altcoins, and holds some really interesting opinions that are worth listening.</p> <p>Throughout this 90-minute interview, the topic of the conversation constantly shifts between BTC's social and economic impact, the uniqueness of Satoshi's invention, and the vices of altcoins.</p> <p> </p> <p>Self-sovereignty, independence, and responsibility are also big topics of this discussion, and you better watch out for a strong criticism of Ethereum and its "post-modernist" approach to narratives and governance.</p>

<p>This interview with Karo Zagorus will help you find out more about the Bitcoin communities in Central and Eastern Europe, while also providing valuable insights on the experiences of two academics who write research papers on the topic of Satoshi's invention.</p> <p> </p> <p>Inevitably, the discussion tackles the issue of politics, regulation, and how the politicians choose to address Bitcoin. The conclusion that you will discover is truly astonishing: though it would make a lot of sense for the gatekeepers of fiat money to reject the kind of currency they cannot control, it seldom happens because they might be corrupt enough to hide large amounts of money with it. Therefore, if the elites find themselves guilty of using Bitcoin, then the cryptocurrency will find itself in a perpetual grey area of inexistent regulation.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

<p>Indian bitcoiner Rajarshi Maitra talks about his involvement in the Bitcoin space and how his worldview has changed once he fell down the rabbit hole.

Other discussions involve doing meetups and spreading awareness on the importance of sound money.</p> <p>Inevitably, the conversation leads to the question: "Is Bitcoin a cult?". Surprisingly, Rajarshi Maitra responds that it might be, yet there is nothing wrong with it as long as the intentions are pure.</p> <p>Tune in for this interesting two-hour conversation and learn more about the Indian culture and the Bitcoin-related events taking place in the world's second most populous country.</p> <p>Follow Rajarshi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RajarshiMaitra</p>
