Topics discussed this episode include:

Is Bitcoin a ponzi scheme? And if it is, what investment isn’t? Do all investments require a “greater fool”?
What purpose does mining serve? Is it merely an “electronic circle jerk”?
Why understanding plain Jane databases is imperative to understanding blockchain
Is creating an open-source, forkable protocol to “enslave humanity” a good idea?
Is bitcoin a CIA created “Mark of the Beast” currency? (tl;dr, probably not).

All that and a whole lot more discussed within! Jake’s work can be found here. The intro and outtro music used is Hooplah by Limes. For those brave (and patient) enough to listen to the entirety of Chris’s 30-minute anti-crypto tirade, you can do so here.
