Brandon is an entrepreneur, writer, speaker, and passionate Bitcoiner. He's currently building SwanBitcoin.com which is the best place to buy Bitcoin in the US.
His articles have been read by more than 2 million people online. Most well known for exploring the parallels between Bitcoin and mycelium.

In all of this turmoil, how does Bitcoin reduce suffering?
