Ijoma Mangold has been a Bitcoin fan for quite some time and has repeatedly expressed this in texts and also in television appearances. With “The Orange Pill”, the Zeit literary critic has now dedicated a fascinating book to his favorite cryptocurrency. He took its premiere as an opportunity to pay a visit to the BTC-ECHO editorial team in Berlin – and to talk about his path towards Bitcoin. In the Experts Podcast, the columnist provides deep insights into what fascinates him about the cryptocurrency. He also talks about the resentments against Bitcoin fans – and why some of them are more legitimate than others.
Bitcoin and maximalism
As a self-confessed Bitcoin fan, Mangold has often spoken to maximalists. While he admits to having learned a lot from them, he also takes a critical look at the indispensable future certainty of some of them – because according to Mangold, nobody can ever know for sure what the future will bring, for Bitcoin and in general.
And have fun listening to the current BTC-ECHO Experts podcast.
