<p>“Bitcoin’s values are easy to defend until they become inconvenient.” </p>
<p>Rob Hamilton returns to the show to get into Bitcoin as a hero’s journey, and why its next great test may already be here. </p>
<p>Rob explains how Bitcoin evolved from a cypherpunk rebellion into an institutional asset, and why that shift is creating a new fault line inside the network. As more Bitcoin moves into ETFs and corporate treasuries, the question is no longer just whether Bitcoin succeeds, but who defines what it is. </p>
<p>We get into the debate around quantum computing, whether vulnerable coins should ever be frozen, and why that decision could trigger a chain split. Rob lays out the tension between protecting the network and preserving Bitcoin’s core principles, and why this may become the most important battle since the block size wars.</p>
