Welcome to another episode of the Bitcoin Journeys Podcast with today's special guest, Will Cole. This episode dives deep into Will's path, starting from his experiences during the 2008-2009 financial crisis in New York City, his libertarian leanings, and his initial skepticism that eventually transformed into a profound understanding and embrace of Bitcoin.

Will shares insights on:

• His first encounter with Bitcoin in 2011 and his initial perception of it as purely a technology.

• The pivotal moments, including the Mt. Gox collapse and the Silk Road seizure, that solidified his conviction in Bitcoin's long-term significance and legitimacy.

• His career transition from Head of Product at Stack Overflow to a dedicated role in the Bitcoin space, leading product and engineering at Unchained Capital.

• Valuable lessons learned and reflections on why Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap remains its most crucial feature.

Tune in to hear Will Cole's unique perspective on the evolution of Bitcoin and the journey of an individual deeply committed to its future.
