Bitcoin Rapid-Fire
Bitcoin is the future of money, that is my firm belief. I use this show to learn more about this phenomenon, and its various implications, from some of the brightest minds in the space, and beyond. I'm not trying to educate or inform anyone, I'm sharing my own journey of attempting to understand bitcoin, and delving in to some of the less obvious, but incredibly profound, aspects of its emergence in the global culture.

Didi Taihuttu is from the Netherlands, and is the patriarch of what has become known as 'The Bitcoin Family'. In the fall of 2017, Didi convinced his wife that bitcoin was the future, and that they should sell everything they owned, invest it all in bitcoin, and with their three daughters, travel around the world proselytizing for it. So they did! Since that time, Didi and his family have been edu...

Maxime Bernier is the leader of the People’s Party of Canada. After losing an extremely close race for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada (roughly equivalent to the Republican Party in the US) by a vote of 49/51, Maxime decided that none of the existing political parties in Canada were addressing the important social and economic issues that Canada is facing. As a result, he formed...

Rapid-Fire: Preston Pysh 20.03.2020 12:56
Well it’s been a hell of a couple weeks. Definitely one for the history books in both the bitcoin and traditional markets. Coronavirus is causing major disruptions all over the world, and the knock-on economic effects are causing large sell-offs everywhere. The virus may very well be the catalyst that exposes the fragility of the existing economic paradigm. If that is the case, there is a lot of v...

Guest on Keyvan Davani's 'Total Bitcoin' Podcast 02.03.2020 1:04:30
I was recently invited on to Keyvan Danvani's 'Total bitcoin' Podcast for a chat. Keyvan has been putting out some awesome content with great guests and an interesting format, and it was super fun to get the chance to speak with him. Note: We had some bandwidth issues it seems, so the audio is a bit spotty in places. It's the worst during the first half of the show. More from Keyvan: WEBSITE: http...

Veriphi.io is a Montreal-based bitcoin consultancy, which assists clients in all aspects of understanding, acquiring, using and securing their bitcoin.

Will Reeves: Earn Bitcoin When You Shop w/ Fold 30.12.2019 1:23:18
We talk a lot about adoption in the bitcoin space, and the hurdles that may be keeping more people from starting to engage with it. I'm super bullish on the 'bitcoin back' rewards model because it allows people to start getting familiar with bitcoin without having to change their behavior OR take on any risk, it's basically free bitcoin, and that's a pretty damn powerful proposition that many seem...

Gene Epstein: Austrian Economics, Soho Debates & Is BTC a 'store of value'? 12.12.2019 2:21:56
I recently came across Gene while watching his debate at The Soho Forum with Professor Richard Wolff (link below). Gene, a follower of the Austrian school of economics, represented the 'Capitalism' side, while Richard, a Marxian economist, took the 'Socialism' side. After watching the debate, it was clear in my mind that Gene won (the audience agreed), and so I thought it would be interesting to h...
