Dear Eric Weinstein: In April 2020, after watching Eric Weinstein’s appearance on Joe Rogan (episode #1453), Chris Espley wrote a thread on Twitter which gave a Bitcoiner’s perspective on some of the societal problems Weinstein had identified. Bitcoiners aren’t a homogenous group, but the thread proved popular, suggesting the themes resonated with a significant number of Bitcoiners and explained their perspective well. In this episode of the What is Money? Show, Robert Breedlove and Chris Espley explore and expand on the themes discussed within the original thread. by The "What is Money?" Show
