Pete Rizzo, Editor at Bitcoin Magazine and Editor-at-large at Kraken rejoins me on the show to talk about Bitcoin Maximalism. There has been some discussion recently on the role of the ‘toxic’ Maximalists, and Pete has clarified some thinking on this in his recent article and discussion on this topic. We talk:

• What is Bitcoin Maximalism
• What do maximalists believe?
• Social and cultural arguments
• Technical aspects
• Is it still needed?
