Bitcoin Culture vs Wall Street | Thomas Pacchia
Manage episode 495656125 series 2794696
Thomas Pacchia is the co-founder of Pubkey.
In this episode, we get into the evolving culture of Bitcoin, why number-go-up narratives overshadow deeper principles like privacy, self-sovereignty, and freedom. Thomas explains why he believes Bitcoin risks becoming disconnected from its original ethos, and the importance of maintaining a robust, culturally-driven Bitcoin community.
We also discuss the increasing role of institutions, treasuries, and ETFs in Bitcoin, how regulatory frameworks like the Patriot Act and Bank Secrecy Act challenge financial privacy, and why these battles are crucial for Bitcoin's future.
We also discuss Pubkey and it's expansion into DC and Bitcoin culture, and adoption on a global scale.
