Bitcoin’s Battle: Revolutionary Tech vs. Persistent Skeptics | Toronto Talks Ep. 002

Ashraf Amin Episode 2

In Episode 2 of Toronto Talks, we dive into the ideological and technological revolution that is Bitcoin—and the fierce skepticism it continues to face. Is it digital gold, a decentralized defense system, or just a speculative bubble waiting to pop?

Host Ash Amin and AI co-host Sophie the Sage explore Bitcoin’s true nature through the lens of Michael Saylor’s "Bitcoin Truths," debunk the most persistent myths and FUDs, and examine the philosophical, economic, and geopolitical implications of this emerging financial force.

We also highlight the top 10 most confidently incorrect viral takes on Bitcoin—from billionaires to Nobel laureates—and kick off our interactive Bitcoin Scavenger Hunt in Toronto, with 50,000 sats up for grabs every week.

Whether you’re a skeptic, believer, or just Bitcoin-curious, this episode is packed with insight, challenge, and a touch of fun.
