About this episode

In this episode, Jamil Hasan reflects on his experiences in the crypto industry and the insights gained about trust and human nature through the lens of Bitcoin.

Most people think Bitcoin changed money. I think Bitcoin revealed people. In this solo episode, I reflect on nearly a decade inside the crypto industry and the lessons that emerged from hundreds of conversations with founders, builders, entrepreneurs, and creators. What began as an exploration of Bitcoin ultimately became an exploration of trust, incentives, adaptation, and human nature. Because the deeper I looked into technology, the more I found myself studying people. The technology matters. The people matter more.
