The Byzantine Premium

A pumpkin pie with a slice missing. The pie has been overlaid with a pie-chart, in which the pieces are labelled with an icon of a confused businessman, a dollar sign, a circle with the word 'NEW!' in the middle, and a 'lotto' logo. The tin beneath the missing slice reveals a section of a glittering Bitcoin.

This week on my podcast, I read a recent Medium column, The Byzantine Premium, which explores the contradiction at the heart of Bitcoin advocacy.
