About this episode

The episode discusses the integrity of Bitcoiners in light of recent controversies involving Adam Back and Hodlonaut's articles on Bitcoin Core.

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/join In this video, I discuss Adam Back's strange reaction to Hodlonaut's articles about corruption at Bitcoin Core, as well as how he has handled revelations from the Epstein email drop. I continue to hope that Adam Back will come out and address the allegations and clear his name once and for all. I would encourage every Bitcoiner to read Hodlonaut's two articles and then read the responses to Hodlonaut by Matt Corallo, Shinobi, MrHodl, and Adam Back-- and make up your own mind.
