Brandon Quittem: Bitcoin Culture Wars and The Bitcoin-Fungi Analogy

Brandon Quittem burst onto the bitcoin scene like a mushroom breaking through three inches of asphalt when he published the first part of his bitcoin-fungi analogy in December 2018. I love biology and nature in general, and have a particular interest in mushrooms and fungi - they are incredibly interesting lifeforms - and I enjoy foraging for morels in the springtime. So Brandon was toward the top of my list of bitcoiners to talk to when I started doing these interview episodes. In this one Brandon and I start of with some talk about this Faketoshi/Hodlonaut mess and a piece about Bitcoin culture wars that Brandon published a couple months ago. We talk about potential future culture wars around privacy and fungibility vs chain transparency for supply verification and about the declining subsidy and transition to a fee market to support network security. Then we dig into the mycelium and mushroom analogy and Brandon gives us a preview of the upcoming third and final part of the series.
