Writer and technologist Peter Rizzo joins us to discuss Bitcoin culture. Has Bitcoin Toxic Maximalism begun to interfere with the network’s ability to expand? Can Maximalism become a dominant cultural force, or is it doomed to be a defensive ideology of the most technical and dedicated Bitcoiners?Will Silicon Valley VC’s stop launching pump and dump ICO style coins, and start building long term Bitcoin infrastructure, or do we have to tolerate such a practice in order to benefit from their talent networks and capital? Another great conversation took place here.Let me know what you think of the show so far, what I can improve and do change to make the show more consumable and enjoyable for you.Cheers! Juan Galt.
