Bitcoin vs Blockchain with Patrick Lowry | Bitcoin Infinity Show #153

In this episode, Patrick Lowry, CEO of Samara Asset Group, shares his thoughts on Bitcoin and how his company manages assets, highlighting why they use Bitcoin as their main reserve. Patrick gives us an inside look at Samara Asset Group’s history and what makes them unique. We discuss the tricky parts of investing in Bitcoin compared to other cryptocurrencies and what the future might hold for blockchain technology in finance.

We also dig into the ethical and practical sides of tokenization, smart contracts, and decentralized finance, debating whether hyperbitcoinization is likely or just hype. Along the way, we cover Bitcoin ETFs, stablecoins like Tether, and compare the roles of centralized and decentralized systems in today's financial landscape.

Knut didn't let him off easy, and made our arguments for Bitcoin-only clear as crystal.
