Andy Edstrom is a wealth manager who has fallen down the bitcoin rabbit hole. He started writing content to justify a small stake in bitcoin for his clients and that turned into the new book “Why Buy Bitcoin” - a great book to recommend to family and friends thinking about an investment in bitcoin. Andy’s history in the finance industry gives him a valuable perspective as one of early adopters of bitcoin from the industry. In this episode we get into that history and perspective, we discuss where the finance industry currently is in terms of moving toward embracing bitcoin as an asset. We talk about monetary maximalism and how bitcoin might change our economy. As any good wealth manager should, Andy has a thorough examination of bitcoin’s risk as an investment in the closing chapters of his book and we discuss them.Citizen Bitcoin on TwitterCitizen Bitcoin PodcastCitizen Bitcoin Lightning ShopCitizen Bitcoin Layer One merch collectionMusic: Moon in the Sky by HobotekLinks from the episode:Andy on TwitterAndy's websiteAndy's book on Amazon

Brandon Quittem burst onto the bitcoin scene like a mushroom breaking through three inches of asphalt when he published the first part of his bitcoin-fungi analogy in December 2018.

Ansel Lindner has been one of the most important people in my bitcoin journey, his Bitcoin and Markets podcast was the first staple of my bitcoin podcast rotation. In this long, ranging, late night discussion with Ansel we get into his bitcoin history, discuss Bcash, Ethereum and the former bitcoiners who jumped ship to lead those communities. We discuss why bitcoin is different and what bitcoin maximalism means to us. We talk Austrian economics and the ethics of money production. Toward the end we get a bit cosmic, discussing how bitcoin affects the human spirit and the coming bitcoin-fueled human renaissance. Discussions like these are what I’m here for and why I’m a dedicated bitcoiner.
