Show Notes

I hope you listened to the recent read by Beautyon, Bitcoin and Software Reliability, because today we continue our FUD Relief series. I suspect you have heard the claim that "Bitcoin doesn't innovate" and that newer and shinier blockchains are destined to replace it. I explore this idea today and suggest that the very framing of the claim suggests they have misunderstood Bitcoin's highest value. I break it down in today's Guy's Take episode.
