This episode is a recording from the Innotech OKC Conference where I did a talk on Bitcoin, Energy & Decentralization. I tried to make this speech relatively high level because the audience was a non-bitcoin crowd and wanted to try to explain things as simply as I could. 

In the talk I cover:

Bitcoin 101 - the basics of the tech
Bitcoin Network - how the network functions
Byzantine General's Problem - what problem did Bitcoin solve
Bitcoin's Energy usage - network security and why energy is the secret sauce
Bitcoin Energy use is a good thing - talk about the benefits of proof-of-work over proof-of-stake
Addressing the FUD - I talk about some of the common fear, uncertainty & doubt that people typically bring up in regards to Bitcoin
What is money? - cover the concept of money and how Bitcoin is objectively the best form of money ever created
The Moral Case for Bitcoin - I give my case for why we need Bitcoin
Ancova Digital - brief overview on our company Ancova Digital
Lastly I take questions from the audience

Hope you enjoy the show!
