How Bitcoin Can Be Co-opted Without Being Destroyed - Efrat Fenigson | Ep. 159

Season 1 Episode 159 Published 6 days, 20 hours ago
Description

I’ve been interviewed this week by Bernardo Braga from Brazil on his podcast. In his words:

“Bitcoin doesn't need to be destroyed to lose the war. If people give up self-custody and agree to exchange Bitcoin for pieces of Wall Street paper, defeat has already begun.In this conversation, Efrat Fenigson and I talked about Bitcoin Core, Michael Saylor, stablecoins, and the risk of Bitcoin becoming another piece of the fiat system.She also shares how the pandemic turned her life upside down and why she turned down a larger sponsorship offer from Coinkite before the Coldcard debacle.”
