Show Notes

“Life is like fire, not water; it is a process, not a pure substance. […] The simplest, but not the only, proof of life is to find something that is alive.”

Christopher McKay

The author of the incredible Bitcoin Mycelium series, Brandon Quittem, & the author of the 21 Lessons of the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole, Der Gigi, join me today for a 2 hour marathon exploring all aspects of this crazy beast we call Bitcoin.  What does it mean to be alive?
