His perspectives on the creation and community-driven valuation of digital assets challenge us to consider the true essence of worth in the modern age.
Delving deeper, our episode traverses the familiar yet distinct pathways that led me from the arts to anthropology and finally into the embrace of Bitcoin and blockchain. Alongside Ben, we examine creativity as a process of discovery, with Bitcoin standing as a testament to the timeless principles of cryptography that have always resided in the universe. This segment underscores the significance of education within the tech and blockchain sectors, and how the enigmatic beauty of math shapes our perceptions and daily experiences.
