"Great art provokes an emotional reaction in the person that sees it. With great art, your heart responds to it. We need people to have that kind of attachment to the bitcoin philosophy."

In this episode, I tumble in conversation with Gareth Eckley, a jewelry designer, gemstone carver, metalsmith, and an inspired bitcoin artist whose precious art objects can be found at artofsatoshi.com. Gareth and I mine a range of topics from eliciting emotional responses to art and the molecular structure of opals, to the stark dichotomies of modernity and potential new forms of charity. All of it set amidst his ongoing understanding of bitcoin and polished by his breadth of experience.
