Bitcoin is a Black Hole with Harry Sudock - WBD515

Bitcoin is a Black Hole with Harry Sudock - WBD515

Harry Sudock is a Vice President of Strategy at Griid. In this interview, we discuss whether Bitcoin's real innovation is the fusion of Proof of Work and the difficulty adjustment. This enables it to exert a gravitational pull that's disrupting money, assets, technologies and organising structures.

- - - -

Bitcoin's impact on society is far exceeding what anyone could have envisioned. While its properties as sound money are well established, the 2nd and 3rd order effects are still being discovered.

Bitcoin is unique. It's centred on the combination of proof of work and the difficulty adjustment. These two fundamental parts of the system incentivise trustless honesty whilst providing security. In today's digital world with encroaching authoritarianism, there is no substitute.

Bitcoin's power is having a gravitational pull on the settled cosmos of modern society, drawing more things into the singularity of its innovation. If money touches everything in society, and Bitcoin is the best form of money, it's seemingly inevitable that Bitcoin will change everything. Bitcoin is a black hole.
