The Why Bitcoin Show

Business & Economics Podcasts

It's a weekly podcast hosted by Dale Warburton on why Bitcoin matters and what makes it different to all other crypto tokens. I'm a former lawyer and Bitcoiner from the class of 2020, who worked in "crypto" and saw first-hand how the industry works. I care about truth, and "crypto" isn't that. It's a game for insiders to take advantage of asymmetrical information and regulatory arbitrage through false marketing. Bitcoin is free, fair and open to all. Crypto isn't. Invest in what you like, but at least know what you're getting into.
