From Voyager Hi Brent, If Satoshi Nakamoto and Alexander Hamilton were alive at the same time, what would they say to each other? Tech entrepreneur and investor Reid Hoffman staged an epic rap battle between the first Secretary of the Treasury and the elusive inventor of Bitcoin to find out. EpicLLOYD takes on the role of Hamilton and Timothy DeLaGhetto as Nakamoto in a six-minute Hamilton the Musical inspired debate on fiat, central banking, and decentralized currency.  Donning a powdered wig, Hamilton delivered blows to Nakamoto, calling Bitcoin “unsupported money” and a “get broke quick scheme.” He poetically presented his case for a powerful government-backed monetary system that can assume liability when things go wrong. Not to be outdone, Nakamoto punched back, painting a vivid picture of an economic revolution that gives the power to the people. His verses knocked banks for high-interest rates and their role in creating economic turmoil across the globe. The crowd went crazy when Nakamoto said, “The banks serve Wall Street, crypto serves all streets.” Hoffman credits Lin-Manual Miranda as the inspiration for the music video but said his ultimate goal was to ignite a conversation about crypto and its evolving role in global commerce. At the end of the rap battle, the host Gift of Gab opened the debate to the audience. Viewers left comments for both Hamilton and Nakamoto, but my favorite came from a user who didn’t pick a side. They wrote, “The winner is us, the people because now we have a CHOICE!” And for that, I thank whoever Satoshi Nakamoto is. Who do you think won the rap battle?
