Bitcoin, Philosophy and Greening Bitcoin with Incentive Offsets

About this episode

I sat down with philosophers Troy Cross and Andrew Bailey to discuss various philosophical questions that intersect with Bitcoin. We also address their new paper that proposes a way to invest in bitcoin without contributing, even slightly, to unsustainable bitcoin mining. We cover:

- The use of philosophy in today's world

- Emotion and reason

- Collectivism and individualism

- Framing Bitcoin's environmental impact

- Greening Bitcoin with incentive offsets
