A Philosophical Conversation About Bitcoin with Professor Craig Warmke

Episode: Craig Warmke is an assistant professor of philosophy at Northern Illinois University. We discuss how Bitcoin sits at a unique intersection between philosophy, fiscal policy, economics, computer science, game theory, and the meaning of money.

Insight: The deeper you dive down the Bitcoin rabbit hole -- especially on social media -- the more fervent the belief in Bitcoin's power can be. All that evangelizing can be off-putting, especially if you're just trying to educate yourself and your clients about the investment potential of digital assets. But unpacking some of the weightier issues surrounding Bitcoin can deepen your understanding of how people think about money, the problems that Bitcoin could indeed address, and where our monetary system could be heading.
