Hey, Bankless Nation. Welcome to another state of the nation episode where we talk about

something in depth that is going on in crypto. This is saying no to Bitcoin fundamentalism.

David, this has been a theme in crypto lately. Former Bitcoin maximalist turning against

Bitcoin fundamentalism. Who do you have on the podcast? What are we going to cover today?

We had Dan Held on the show. Dan Held has been a Bitcoin proponent, a Bitcoin believer

for a very long time. I actually don't think Ryan that the Bitcoin maximalist are turning

away from Bitcoin maximalists. They're turning away specifically from Bitcoin fundamentalists,

which is a new term. It's actually how Dan Held ended up on the show today when he tweeted

out a tweet that said, say no to Bitcoin fundamentalism. I like you caught that tweet

a little bit by surprise. Like, oh, Bitcoin fundamentalism, Dan Held saying no to Bitcoin

fundamentalism. Don't know what Bitcoin fundamentalism is, but it's interesting that we're

seeing a schism in the Bitcoin community. So this is what this episode is about. What is

exactly Bitcoin fundamentalism? And why are so many Bitcoin leaders rejecting it? And so

we spend the first half of this episode defining terms and just like getting things, making

things really, really clear. So we can actually talk about what we need to talk about, which

is this growing cultural divide in the Bitcoin community.

Where we get into the episode, guys, we want to thank our friends and sponsors at Galaxy.
