Peter McCormack’s work on What Bitcoin Did has just straight up inspired me to keep pushing forward on this podcast. I really just wanted to sit down and get to know him better. We get into Peter’s history growing up in Bedford, England, discovering the internet and creating websites and brands. We talk about building What Bitcoin Did, Peter’s podcasting process, a bit of English football and his hopes and dreams of becoming the King of Bedford, England and buying the Bedford Town Football Club. It was a ton of fun and I hope you all enjoy this chat as well.

Ansel Lindner has been one of the most important people in my bitcoin journey, his Bitcoin and Markets podcast was the first staple of my bitcoin podcast rotation. In this long, ranging, late night discussion with Ansel we get into his bitcoin history, discuss Bcash, Ethereum and the former bitcoiners who jumped ship to lead those communities. We discuss why bitcoin is different and what bitcoin maximalism means to us. We talk Austrian economics and the ethics of money production. Toward the end we get a bit cosmic, discussing how bitcoin affects the human spirit and the coming bitcoin-fueled human renaissance. Discussions like these are what I’m here for and why I’m a dedicated bitcoiner.
