ABOUT
Bitcoin Twitter’s latest skirmish with Elon Musk has as much to say about the nature of power in a social media landscape as it does about bitcoin.
This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io.
If you thought last week’s Elon intrigue was over, think again. This weekend saw an absolute showdown at the bitcoin corral, with Musk seriously losing his cool.
In this episode, NLW explores the tussle from a number of dimensions:
- What it says about the efficacy of Bitcoin Maximalism
- What is says about Elon Musk specifically
- What it says about power in a social media-powered world
