Location: Remotely Date: Friday 25th June Project: CJ Wilson Racing, WBD Employee of the Month Role: Owner and founder, N/A
CJ Wilson has led an exciting life. He was a two-time All-star during his decade-long major league baseball career, and he went on to found a professional sports car racing team.
Given his understanding of sound money, bitcoin was something he had to pursue to protect his wealth. CJ is a bitcoin maximalist, a term initially coined as a pejorative and now worn as a badge of honour.
The culture of toxicity is under constant criticism, with opponents suggesting it pushes people away from Bitcoin, while bitcoiners maintain it’s an essential defence against scams and misinformation. Critics claim that maximalism itself is in opposition to liberty, but taking a hard stance is a cornerstone of sovereignty.
Is maximalism anti-freedom? Or is it simply the free market’s rallying cry of a monetary revolution?
In this interview, I talk to American HODL & MLB all-star and sports car racer CJ Wilson. We discuss CJs sports career, racing fast cars and the role of toxic bitcoin maximalism.
