Tuur Demeester on the Looming Debt Crisis and Central Banks for Bitcoin
The Peter McCormack Show - A podcast by Peter McCormack
Categories:
Interview location: San Francisco
Interview date: Wed 22nd August 2018
Company: Adamant Capital
Role: Founder/CEO
If you are a long-term Bitcoiner, you will know the name Tuur Demeester. In researching the interview, I read every Medium post he had written from his bullish position on Bitcoin to his bearish stance on Ethereum. As an economist and investor Tuur's knowledge and experience make for a great interview and we discuss:
- The looming debt crisis
- Bitcoin cycles
- Government-issued cryptocurrencies
- Ethereum’s scaling issues
- Central banks for Bitcoin
As well as talking about Crypto we discuss his Medium Post "The day I decided to break from my parents", a personal story about his decision to separate himself from his parents.
