Guests: Matt McKibbin & Christian Saucier We always assume Bitcoin and Blockchain will take off in the U.S. and Canada but we always like to pull guests and get their perspective of Third World and former Communist states. The gang call a Burger King in the Netherlands who reward Bitcoin customers with a free Whopper and then we […]
Guests: Valerian Bennett It’s only natural that we keep our eye on the rising tide of alternative content delivery platforms, particularly ones that incentivize decentralization using cryptocurrency. It will likely take years of technical development before this suite of technologies is commercially viable. Yet, this mountain of computer engineering is not our greatest challenge. The real […]
Guests: Michael Dunworth One of bitcoin’s most-often cited challenges is the need for widespread merchant adoption. This might seem obvious but getting merchants to accept digital currency means we have to re-educate. Sure, Demetrick once asked a clerk at a Pho restaurant if they take bitcoin, and we applaud his efforts, but expect to have to explain […]
Guests: Noel Lovisa In the 1960s, when the practice of software development was first emerging, the industry chose to take the ‘code-domain’ route. We have wound back the clock, and we are choosing differently. A small development team from Australia are poised to bring a potential trillion dollar industry to bitcoin. This development team is lead […]
Guests: Justin Newton If not for DNS (domain name systems), very few people would be able to visit this website. They’d have to know that our server’s IP address is something like 192.94.5.58. Needless to say, readership/listenership of The Bitcoin Podcast would probably never reach “mass adoption.” Netki is a company that’s betting that domain names will do […]
Guests: Alena Vranova The question of “how to store your bitcoins” leads to one of the most important decisions for a Bitcoin user to make. There needs to be an assumed level of trust. More critically, each message passing operation needs a human in the loop at the physical level because the user needs to physically […]
Guests: Lil B This week, it’s just real. I’m just happy you guys are getting the real Lil B. No pen, no pad. He didn’t script a speech. He came here to The Bitcoin Podcast to talk about bitcoin, the music industry and spread love. In fact, he specializes in love. A lot of people wonder, […]
Guests: M.K. Lords No matter what our background is, the longer we do this podcast, the more community experience we can add to our resumes. We take a break from prodding technological advances and invite an Airbitz community manager on. After all, all three of us are Airbitz ambassadors, we might as well do our […]
Guests: Imogen Heap Imogen Heap joins us in the studio this week as we move past our starstruck haze, to get to the bottom of why, in our age of the internet, many artists are struggling to get a fair deal. She is hoping to change all that, using a technology that could revolutionize the way music […]
Guests: Ryan X Charles This week we try and shift the emphasis slightly away from programming and towards putting the spotlight on companies being built. Circumnavigating the planet teaching blockchain, Ryan X Charles finds himself in our studio to discuss how he is starting his own blockchain-based social media company called Datt, a decentralized content […]
