In this conversation, Eric Stacks sits down with Radu Chichi — software engineer, Bitcoin thinker, and author of the essay \"Bitcoin Doesn't Need to Stretch\" — to unpack one of the most misunderstood debates in the Bitcoin space: the relationship between hard money, credit, and economic elasticity.
