Summary

Grant welcomes Mike Green of Logica Funds and Nic Carter of Castle Island Ventures & CoinMetrics for a civilized debate about Bitcoin (with a little Tether chat thrown in for good measure). With so much polarization around this topic, it seemed like a good opportunity to try and flesh out the case both for and against bitcoin with two men who've become vocal proponents for their respective causes. What followed was a wonderful exchange of ideas with both Mike and Nic demonstrating precisely why each side of the debate values their opinion so highly. Will any minds be changed by this?

0:00.0	Before we begin I have an announcement to make regarding the future of this
0:10.9	podcast beginning February 1st the Grant Williams podcast will become part of the Copper membership

0:20.0	The Copper tier will include every future episode of the end game, the Super Terrific
0:25.1	Happy Hour and the Narrative Game, as well as access to a series of special one-on-one conversations
