“Bitcoin returns to this positive view of the future” - Thomas

My guests today are Thomas Hunt aka Mad Bitcoins and Daniel. Thomas is the co-founder of the World Crypto Network and has been creating popular Bitcoin content as Mad Bitcoins, including shows like “The Bitcoin Group,” for over a decade. Daniel is The Progressive Bitcoiner’s master of art, branding, show and guest consultation and beyond. He also heads up marketing for Pubkey, the Bitcoin bar in NYC.

In this episode we discuss Bitcoin adoption, inevitability, community building, fighting misconceptions from the left, and making the progressive case for Bitcoin as a tool for financial freedom and self-sovereignty. We reflect on the past decade in Bitcoin, their own stories and journeys through this wild crypto and bitcoin landscape, and more.
