Summary
Today, Daniel and I get to have a deep-thinking chat with Brett Hansen! Brett aka ₿cuz is a longtime friend of ours in the Bitcoin space and has proven himself to be an amazing writer covering not just Why We Bitcoin, but the deeper beliefs beneath our conclusions. I just finished his recently released book, The Belief Machine and it is exactly the kind of thinking that I ponder all the time. This book will resonate with Bitcoiners, skeptics, and anyone interested in psychology, philosophy, identity, responsibility, and the stories that hold a life together. His work explores the ways people construct and defend their understanding of reality. Using Bitcoin as a pressure environment, The Belief Machine examines what becomes visible when inherited assumptions begin to fail, consequences become personal, and conviction can no longer be separated from identity.
