Episode notes
In this episode of the Bitcoin Matrix Podcast, I chat with Knut Svanholm, a former seafarer turned philosopher and the mind behind the “Bitcoin Infinity” meme.
We explore the philosophy of freedom, how Bitcoin changes human interactions, and what it truly means to live without fear in an age of paper Bitcoin and clown world distractions.
