The much deserved Guy’s Take episode as a dedicated follow-up to the amazing work of "The Bitcoin Time Vol 1." There just wasn’t enough time to do it justice during the read, so today I give my take on the plethora of ideas conveyed in Alek Svetski’s awesome work!
Don’t forget to listen to the audio if you haven’t yet! Part 1 and 2 linked below:

As I said, the ideas in this piece are many & very dense. We've had entire episodes expanding on these topics that are great for a deeper journey down the rabbit hole. Here are some links to those past works that will elaborate on the many topics.
