NEW EPISODE
“The big concern is the emailification of Bitcoin.”
Aaron van Wirdum (nprofile…kql2) spent 13 years covering Bitcoin and wrote The Genesis Book tracing its lineage back to DigiCash in the 90s. His warning: the protocol survives, but everyone interacts through custodial middlemen. SMTP still exists. Nobody runs their own mail server.
We talk pre-Bitcoin failures, the block size wars, mining centralization, and why incremental regulation is a bigger threat than a 51% attack.
S03E03 is out now for supporters, tomorrow for all.
