Show Notes

"Bitcoin represents the explicit encoding of previously implicit values of the tech community. It's not just software — it is a Schelling point and a symbol. As such, it will become widely recognized as the flag of technology over the course of the 2020s." — Balaji S. Srinivasan


Today we cover another read from Anil's Bitcoin Essentials list, this time from Balaji Srinivasan. Balaji has a way with words and always brings a unique, high level mental frame to how the world is unfolding. He seems to have a gift of talking about the current state of the world, as if he is seeing it through the lens of history. With that perspective, he examines the aggressive technological shifts and the Bitcoin system to parse out the values of each, and explain, in his words, why he believes Bitcoin will become the flag for the technological revolution.
