That's when he first discovered bitcoin.</p> <p>The open road. The unsettled whitespace. The westward trail. The highway to freedom. That's why he's here.</p> <p>And he's remained true to his values.</p> <p>That's why he speaks out against tyranny. That's why he embraces self-sovereign money and pokes holes in the myths of fiat. That's why he so ardently rejects maximalism. </p> <p>Enjoy our conversation with one of cryptos original settlers. </p> <p>We cover:</p> <ul> <li>Erik's journey into the bankless frontier</li> <li>The libertarian values in the code</li> <li>Why America isn't capitalist</li> <li>Why flag bucks are destined for collapse</li> <li>Gold, Bitcoin, Ethereum</li> <li>4 categories of coins</li> <li>Crypto vs the final boss</li> <li>China vs America</li> <li>Why Maximalists lost the plot</li> <li>PRICE PREDICTIONS!</li> <li>How Shapeshift helps us go bankless</li> </ul> <p>Join us next Monday for a fresh episode!</p> <p>-----<br /> Resources discussed:</p> <ul> <li>(Trade) <a href="https
