Knut Svanholm is a prolific thinker and author of several books on Bitcoin. He writes about the philosophical impacts of Bitcoin and how it can change the world for the better, and his books are by some described as a “guided meditation that soothes the experienced and tutors the uninitiated in the ways of Bitcoin”. In his latest book about Praxeology, Knut talks about this approach to economics and social science, where logic and deductive reasoning alone could provide more robust explanations for people's actions than empiricism ever could. I have already learned so much from Knut’s thinking and I was very excited to talk to him. I hope you enjoy this episode! Lees meer

013 - Tim Niemeyer - Bitcoin for Millennials
28 november 2023 · 59 min
Tim Niemeyer's journey into Bitcoin started in 2018 and is enriched by his diverse background, which encompasses being a USAF avionics technician, insights from his psychology degree, and experience as an elementary teacher. These unique perspectives culminate in his recently published book, 'History Echoes Bitcoin: Understanding the Value of Bitcoin's Properties Through the Lens of History.' In his book, Tim bridges the gap between historical events and the foundational properties of Bitcoin. These properties include permissionlessness, consensus-building, decentralization, trust minimization, censorship resistance, open-source collaboration, immutability, and scarcity. Through his writing, Tim illustrates how each of these qualities has not only been instrumental in the advancement of humanity but also how they collectively form the compelling value proposition of Bitcoin. Each historical parallel in 'History Echoes Bitcoin' serves as a lesson for us to either choose to learn from or ignore. It aims to show how the properties that give Bitcoin its value are each individually beneficial and collectively compelling. Zoom out and you will see! I hope you enjoy this episode. Lees meer

In this episode of Bitcoin for Millennials, I am joined by Marc van Versendaal. Marc is an entrepreneur whose journey has taken him from psychology and high-stakes poker to a dedicated focus on Bitcoin. Fuelled by the 2020 pandemic, Marc took an extraordinary leap of faith. He sold everything and embarked on a nearly three-year global journey with his family, questioning deeply ingrained beliefs about money, economics, and social inequality. He came to understand the broken fiat financial system and how little control individuals have over their financial destiny. This put him on a mission to help individuals and businesses seamlessly integrate Bitcoin into their lives. As he now does with his company. Don't miss this compelling conversation where we self-reflect and explore the philosophical and spiritual journey that led both of us to Bitcoin, and hopefully you too!
