Pretty much all of you will know Guy, he’s the creator and host of Bitcoin Audible, one of the most valuable educational resources in Bitcoin.  He’s also a buddy of mine and it’s always fun to chill and chat with him for a couple hours. We go all over the place in this one - we talk open source software, privacy, our post-truth society, go pretty deep on Taproot and why it’s such an important soft-fork upgrade, the emerging bitcoin-only industry and at the end we get bullish on price and the official beginning of the next bull run. Citizen Bitcoin on TwitterCitizen Bitcoin PodcastCitizen Bitcoin Layer One merch collectionBitcoiner's BestSwan Bitcoin - Buy bitcoin with your bank accountMusic: Moon in the Sky by HobotekLinksGuy on TwitterDelete Coinbase Account in Three Easy StepsBitcoin Wallets: How, Why and When to Hold Your Own Private KeysSwan Bitcoin: The best way to buy bitcoin from your back account with automatic recurring buys
