How Far We’ve Come (and How Much Stayed the Same)

How Far We’ve Come (and How Much Stayed the Same)

Today’s show is from a time before the trillion (or even billion) dollar market cap; before Vitalik had ever spoken the word Ethereum; before Taproot, Segwit, stock-to-flow and the institutional investing thesis. In the early days, Bitcoin was the absolute state of the art and the basis for an entirely new and utterly revolutionary form of technology. This time you’ll get a peek at how we discussed it before everything that would happen had happened.
