Inside the Latest Flare-Up of the Bitcoin Maximalism Debate

“Opinionated” hosts dissect recent online discussions that have reignited the bitcoin maximalism debate in the crypto community.

August 4, 2022
Listen on:

“It’s about labels, it’s about people having fun fighting each other… Nothing regarding technology is at stake here,” says host Anna Baydakova of the bitcoin maximalism debate.

“Opinionated” hosts Ben Schiller and Anna Baydakova discuss the long-running and fundamental debate at the center of crypto subculture that pits bitcoin maximalists, those who believe bitcoin is the best and only cryptocurrency that should exist, against the broader crypto community.

This show is produced and edited by Eleanor Pahl with additional production support and announcements by Michele Musso. Our theme song is by Elision.
