About this episode
In this conversation, Pascal Huegli and Nic Carter explore the evolving landscape of crypto, focusing on the rise of stablecoins and their implications for Bitcoin. They talk about various scared cows, the crypto industry still believes in it. They discuss the cyclical relationship between Bitcoin and stablecoins, the challenges of decentralization, and the regulatory environment surrounding stablecoins. The discussion also touches on the philosophical aspects of crypto as a freedom technology, whether it furthers mental illness and why the notion of Bitcoin as a secular religion is ambigious.
