DEVELOPER IN FOCUS: Must everyone agree on 'what bitcoin is'? w/ Jeremy Rubin

Jeremy Rubin is a contributor to the Bitcoin Core software project, among other projects and initiatives in the technology space.   I'm extremely fascinated by the people who contribute to improving the technology that underpins bitcoin - how they think about bitcoin, their personal philosophies and ideologies, and how and why they have decided to devote their time to contributing to this project.   I'm also not a very technologically inclined person myself, so I feel its important to speak with those who are, so I can gain further insight and understanding into how bitcoin truly works 'under the hood'.   One fascinating question to me is "does everyone who supports, contributes or uses bitcoin have to be 'ideologically aligned' on what bitcoin 'is'?".  We explored this question and lots more in this discussion.    Enjoy!    --    More from Jeremy:   TWITTER: https://twitter.com/JeremyRubin   BLOG: https://rubin.io/   JUDICA WEBSITE: https://judica.org/    More from me:       TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA       YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg       MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex       INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

Bitcoin is the future of money, that is my firm belief. I use this show to learn more about this phenomenon, and its various implications, from some of the brightest minds in the space, and beyond. I'm not trying to educate or inform anyone, I'm sharing my own journey of attempting to understand bitcoin, and delving in to some of the less obvious, but incredibly profound, aspects of its emergence in the global culture.
