Think Bitcoin Podcast

Logan

Bitcoiners are doing more than fixing the money. We're ushering in a new era of human flourishing, and flourishing definitionally catalyzes a renaissance of art and ideas. That means literature, philosophy, music, film, etc. It also means the art of living. With and through the soundness of bitcoin, we will re-architect, re-code, and fundamentally transform the existing cultural and artistic zeitgeist. Those conversations happen here.
