BlackRock, Bitcoiners, Battlestar Galactica
Welcome to another Bitcoin centric episode. Connor, Branden and Matt focus heavily on the news regarding investment banks filing for Bitcoin ETF's recently and what that means. Also discussed is the concept of if Bitcoin Maxi's have lost the goal of what Bitcoin is supposed to be. Is it supposed to be a medium of exchange or a store of value or even both? What is the point of buying Bitcoin if we aren't going to use it for anything other than sitting in cold storage until we die? Not saying there is anything wrong with hodling, but this can't just be the end all be all. Do we just wait for Bitcoin to go to a million or should we start building out more ways for people to spend it and give it more utility other than the fringe scenarios. Please like, comment, review and subscribe wherever podcasts are found. See in the next episode!

Crypto Conversion Podcast Ep. 11 - A First Glance At The Network State
This is the first episode the Crypto Conversion Podcast begins cracking into Balaji Srinivasan's online book The Network State. As a disclaimer, we as a podcast are fans of The Network State, however, we see elements of it that dispel the need religion and Christianity. The Crypto Conversion podcast continues to look for the parallels and similarities between Christianity and the web3 world. The Network State can be a excellent foundation to help unite Christians in the digital age we continue immersing ourselves in.
Thank you to everyone who stops by to watch and listen this episode and we look forward to bringing more episodes in the future regarding the text of The Network State.

Is Web3 Different From Peer to Peer Technologies Such As Torrent?
Web3 is essentially a a peer to peer network, but the key difference is the use of Blockchain. Bitcoin is perhaps the most famous use-case for blockchain technology, but there are a growing number of protocols under the heading of '''web3" that are based on blockchain technology. To fully understand why blockchain allows us to bootstrap a decentralized web3 it is recommended to read the Ethereum whitepaper, but in short, blockchain adds a level of security to the network that other peer to peer technologies lack.
