In this conversation, Bitcoin For The Arts founder Dion Wilson sits down with Philip Charter, the British author, editor, and ghostwriter behind Totally Human Writer, and the co-editor of 21 Futures, the world's first Bitcoin fiction anthology.

Philip lives in Gran Canaria. He is the co-editor of 21 Futures: Tales from the Timechain, a collection of twenty-one stories from twenty-one authors including Knut Svanholm and Ioni Appelberg, released by Konsensus Network in 2023 and presented at Bitcoin Atlantis in 2024. He has published seven books, and his writing tips have earned over three million impressions on LinkedIn.

His thesis has quietly made him one of the most influential communicators in the Bitcoin space: "We don't need more technical explanations. We need to get better at telling stories."
