Leaving the Fiat Cult, Bitcoin's Endgame, and the Viral Meme That Changed Everything | Knut Svanholm
Manage episode 507018827 series 3605725
In this episode of Cypherpunk'd, we sit down with the legendary Knut Svanholm–Bitcoin philosopher, former sea captain, and the mind behind the iconic "Everything Divided by 21 Million" meme.
We explore the unbelievable, almost accidental origin story of how a single sentence he couldn't be bothered to proofread became a global Bitcoin anthem, tattooed on bodies and championed by figures like Michael Saylor.
Knut reveals his journey from captaining tall ships and fronting a viral grunge rock band on The Pirate Bay to becoming a leading voice for Bitcoin sovereignty.
He shares his controversial view that Bitcoin isn't a cult but rather an escape from the "fiat cult" that requires blind belief.
We also get the inside story on why he was blocked by crypto pioneer Andreas Antonopoulos.
Join us as we discuss absolute scarcity, digital liberty, and what happens to a philosopher when his mission is finally accomplished.
