ioRadio - The Technology and Ethics Podcast

Adam and I react to the "Biggest Bitcoin Ballers" panel discussion at Bitcoin 2023 in Miami. Watch Saint Adam Back, joined by fellow cultists Jack Mallers and Matt Odell, preach the gospel of FOMO and evangelize the sacred tenant of HODL. How much fiat are you donating to the church of crypto? It might be time to sell your worldly possessions and become a Bitcoin monk, while some might pray, the truly devout DCA. In IO Radio #9 we provide colour commentary while three of the world's biggest con-artists try to take every last dollar you have and stuff it into their already overflowing pockets. The only thing on stage scarcer that the panellist's sense of empathy is a real world use case. To finish, we share a sneak peak of highlights from day 1 of Bitcoin 2023. Enjoy!
