Leaving the Bitcoin Religion with Nic Carter

Nic Carter is Partner of Castle Island VC, host of the On the Brink Podcast, repeat Bankless guest, and recent victim of a Bitcoin maximalist (cyber hornets) attack.

Why was he swarmed? As a result and for many other reasons, he's distancing himself from these cyber hornets. Will others follow his lead?

Many assumed Nic was a Bitcoin maximalist, but really he's just Nic Carter. Who are you and what do you stand for?
