Show Notes

Ideas and ways of thinking are much like paths in the wood. When we explore them often they are well worn and clearly defined. But often we get lost exploring other ideas or focused on something we hope to see in the future, and even the paths we know well get ignored, and the brush starts to creep back in. The noise of the world begins to obscure what was once an obvious truth. This is why its good to refresh important ideas from time to time. To walk those paths again, to remind ourselves of the perspectives that got us here.

Today we dive into a reboot of a very important idea in grasping why Bitcoin works, and how it emerges from the individual enforcement of the Bitcoin rules, and how utterly revolutionary this seemingly simple concept really is. If you haven't heard it, today's episode will fix that terrible tragedy for you. So hit play and enjoy.
