Rethinking 'Toxicity', Shifting Focus, Publishing His First Book & The Pace of Bitcoin Adoption w/ Aleks Svetski

Aleks Svetski is an entrepreneur, friend, prolific writer in the bitcoin space, and author of the recently released book 'The UnCommunist Manifesto', a logical, and piercing takedown of 'Communist' thinking, and a simple explanation of the rationale (and virtues) of individual freedom and voluntary exchange.   It really is a great book to clarify ones own thinking, and counter the abundance of misinformed and logically inconsistent rhetoric on the subject which abounds in the discourse today.   In this discussion, Aleks and I discuss the motivations and process behind writing and publishing his first book (with co-author Mark Moss), the shift in mindset he experienced in 2022, and the resulting change in focus and how he 'engages' (online), and his recent article on why he believes 'hyperbitcoinization' will likely take significantly longer than many proponents are expecting.   Enjoy!   --   More from Aleks:  TWITTER: @SvetskiWrites BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/UnCommunist-Manifesto-Message-Responsibility-Liberty/dp/B0B9VH8R4T/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34AXXP049K4AG&keywords=the+uncommunist+manifesto&qid=1677964326&sprefix=the+uncommunis%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-1  THE BITCOIN TIMES: https://bitcointimes.io  ARTICLES: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/aleksandarsvetski More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah VIDA: https://vida.page/johnkvallis NOSTR: npub1cqm6dztalp4l6n04f9k20c333xftgangjla337736dr6faz9na0qf2hjec To buy Bitcoin in the US with zero-fees, purchase hosted mining rigs, and access their Lightning Services platform for developers, visit River.com If you're in Canada, use this link (https://t.co/npfGxWKO26) to buy bitcoin with Bull Bitcoin, and receive $20 free when you first fund your account with $50 or more (and buy bitcoin with it).
