Digital Romanticism

The Cult of Bitcoin

This is a pseudo research science podcast that discusses internet life with a lofi beat, thus the name "Lifi". I'm your host Armandas Aksomaitis - a User Experience Design bachelor graduate. I love tech, video games, binging tv shows and eating too much chocolate than my family doctor would recommend. In this episode I research the technology of blockchain and the obsession with crypto currencies, such as Bitcoin. I talk about stonks, bitcoin mining operations overseas and the sustainability of crypto. I give some love to crypto kitties, ethereum, ada cardano and I even mention disaster that was BITCONECT. Lastly, I invite Jeroen Nijkamp and Ping Huan to enlighten me and the viewers about crypto trading and NFT ethereum art. Enjoy listening ;) If you're interested here are my socials: https://linktr.ee/tolerastas
