NLW is joined by three philosophy professors for a discussion of bitcoin, ethics and politics.
This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io.
Falling down the proverbial bitcoin rabbit hole tends to lead people to ask deep questions about the nature of the economy and society. Today’s Breakdown guests are all professionally trained to ask those sorts of questions as philosophers.
NLW is joined by:
- Andrew Bailey, Yale-NUS College @resistancemoney
- Bradley Rettler, University of Wyoming @rettlerb
- Craig Warmke, Northern Illinois University @craigwarmke
The three form a research collective called Resistance Money and are working on a book about bitcoin’s use helping individuals overcome infringement by states and other institutions.
On this episode they discuss bitcoin’s ideological flexibility and situate it in the context of the larger political landscape.
