"Bitcoin calls upon all of us to act in some way, in some manner. You know, just because you bought it is the most basic thing that you can do." - Dr. Mark Stephany
My guest today is Dr. Mark Stephany. Mark is the former host of The Progressive Bitcoiner, author and board-certified internal medicine physician. In this episode we discuss the challenges of promoting Bitcoin to progressives, the need for political engagement in Bitcoin, what taking action in the face of adversity may look like and living an examined life. We explore the tensions between idealism and pragmatism in the Bitcoin community, the importance of questioning one's beliefs, and persevering through hardship.
