Guy's Take #59 - We're Not Going Anywhere

Published: Sept. 19, 2022, 11:52 p.m.

"Bitcoin is not merely a network, it's a foundation for an anti-authoritarian political movement in an increasingly authoritarian world. If you're looking for why so many people are deeply passionate about Bitcoin & nothing else, start there." - Guy Swann\n\nToday I decide to rant about what Bitcoin maximalism means to me, why I am totally and completely focused on Bitcoin and nothing else, and why I think "crypto" has lost the plot. Crypto is interested in building a bunch of toys to be accepted by the establishment, Bitcoin is a declaration of independence from it.\n\nThe other episodes mentioned for diving deeper into this topic:\n\u2022 My Path to Bitcoin Maximalism (by Sessions)\n\u2022 How to Be a Bitcoin Maximalist (Pete Rizzo)\n\u2022 Setting the Record Straight (Nic Carter)\n\nCheck out our amazing sponsors and the products that Guy uses most in the space:\n\u2022 The best place to onboard a true Bitcoiner - Stack sats automatically, withdraw automatically, and learn or get help from the best team of Bitcoiners out there with Swan Bitcoin.
