“It is unnerving when a bunch of virtue signalers...having no appreciation for the fact that 85% of the people in the world live in poverty and they don’t have access to a reliable form of money that could pull them out of poverty, that they would start to criticize without having any understanding.”
— Parker Lewis

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Location: Guatemala
Date: Wednesday 26th May
Project: Head of Business Development
Role: Host

The Gradually, Then Suddenly series by Parker Lewis on the Unchained Capital blog is an excellent resource for readers with any level of knowledge. 

Bitcoin is not intuitive at first, and these articles cover many of the most common sticking points people come across when they fall down the rabbit hole. Parker's writings deeply examine the value proposition of Bitcoin from a first-principles basis.

To truly understand Bitcoin, one must answer the question: what is money?

In this interview, I talk to Parker Lewis, Head of Business Development at Unchained Capital. We discuss money as a coordination function of society, Bitcoin's energy usage, and why you cannot copy Bitcoin.
