Bitcoiner Dan Held gave journalist Nicole Behnam a true Texan welcome to Austin while the pair discussed their individual paths into the world of crypto.
Dan Held is a household name in the world of Bitcoin (BTC), while Nicole Behnam is a journalist turned cryptocurrency and NFT enthusiast. Together, the pair explored Held’s hometown of Austin, Texas, getting a taste of local life while delving into their journeys into the cryptocurrency space.
Held took Behnam to a local gun range to start things off, with the pair getting the chance to shoot a rare World War II-era German MP40. Behnam then grabbed her first cowboy hat from a local store and matched that with a pair of boots before the pair rounded off their thoughts on the cryptocurrency space.

The pair finished off the day unpacking the prevailing perception toward Bitcoin as nonfungible tokens and Web3 become more of a focus. Held closed off the interview by giving a broad view of why other blockchain platforms trade off some semblance of decentralization to enable other functionality:
“This is where a lot of Bitcoiners don’t question the nature of Bitcoin. What if Bitcoin has overoptimized for security or decentralization? […] I admit that could be a flaw in our thinking.”
However, Held also stressed that this is a major reason why Bitcoin remains strong against any potential attacks against the network from nation-states.
