“Imagine, everything there is and everything that will ever be, divided by 21 million” @knutsvanholm

I’m going to do something a bit different with these show notes. I’m giving you the questions we had for Knut, to let you be the judge of whether we stuck to the script. I hope the answer is “somewhat”, but I also hope you enjoy the off-script chat as well:

Q1. Are you still a pleb?

Q2. What was the lightbulb moment for you in the Infinity / 21m idea?

Q3. What is toxic maximalism? (The shitcoiner term for the truth) and should we all try to be more pragmatic?

Q4. If countries are just ideas, what is the future of countries on a Bitcoin standard?

Q5. Are our fiat rulers ignorant or wilfully deceptive?

Q6. Politicians are great at kicking the can down the road. How much further can they kick it?

Q7. As you’ve become more well known in the Bitcoin world, has that restricted you or changed any of your behaviours?

Q8. What is your opinion of fractional reserve exchanges?

Q9. First El Salvador, now the Central African Republic. Who next?

Q10. What’s next for you?

Knut has been a huge influence in my thoughts and conviction around Bitcoin. I would strongly recommend you pick up his books:
