About this episode

Doug Scribner, one of Bitcoin’s true OGs and early adopters since 2011, joins the Bitcoin.com News Podcast to reflect on more than a decade of Bitcoin history, innovation, and perseverance. Having first bought Bitcoin under $5, Doug has witnessed every bull and bear cycle — and explains why patience, conviction, and long-term vision separate true Bitcoin believers from the rest.
