Description
Lyn Alden joins Brady Swenson for a focused response to Ben McKenzie's recent appearance on The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart, where McKenzie made a series of claims about Bitcoin that deserve a more nuanced look. Lyn walks through the key points — illicit activity statistics, the distinction between Bitcoin and the broader crypto space, Bitcoin's tie to real-world energy through proof of work, mining and environmental impact, transaction throughput and layered scaling, and the role of large institutions like BlackRock. Our hope is that Jon invites Lyn or Alex Gladstein on the show to continue the conversation.
