The Centbee Show 48 - Losing Faith in BTC!

In this episode of The Centbee Show, hosts Lorien Gamaroff and Kage Ntshingila dive into the controversial topic of Bitcoin (BTC) as a religion. They discuss an article by CS Tominaga that explores how BTC has morphed into a belief system for its followers. The conversation covers the Ring of Gyges, pseudonymity vs. anonymity, the evolution of Bitcoin, and the notion of decentralised ideals.

Lorien and Kage also examine Tominaga’s points on the psychological and sociological mechanisms at play in the BTC community, and the misplaced faith that fuels its momentum.

Tune in to get an in-depth analysis and understand why they support Bitcoin SV (BSV) as the true vision of Satoshi Nakamoto. A mix of education, humour, and straight talk about Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin. You're gonna love it!
