#84 - Jimmy Song - Bitcoin VS Web3

My guest on today’s podcast is Jimmy Song, Bitcoin Developer, Educator and Entrepreneur and one of the most popular personalities in the bitcoin community. I had listened to Jimmy on many podcasts and I knew that he was really against the rest of the crypto space, including Ethereum, and the whole concept of Web3. Naturally, I really wanted to talk to him as there is nothing better than being able to have a dialogue with people who hold different views from yours.

I have to say that this was a tough conversation because Jimmy and I disagree on a lot of things. I see Blockchain technology as interesting and revolutionary in itself with application to many other things beyond bitcoin. Jimmy not only disagrees with me, but he also tends to be rather hostile towards everything Web3 to a point that he calls the whole space a scam and immoral. 

I’m grateful to Jimmy for sharing his time and insights with me even though our perspectives deeply differ.
