In this end-of-year episode, Brian and Mik explore the evolution of Bitcoin—from its mysterious beginnings with Satoshi Nakamoto’s 2008 white paper to its current six-figure price. They discuss how Bitcoin’s role has shifted from “electronic cash” to a potential reserve asset, the concept of “digital real estate,” and whether it truly lives up to its promise of decentralization. They also discuss skepticism by prominent figures like Charlie Munger and Jamie Dimon, debate energy usage, and consider Bitcoin’s ongoing risk from governments and regulatory bodies. If you’re curious about how Bitcoin got here, and what the maximalists believe, this conversation is for you.
