Episode 18 is here and its all about the Nodl Node. I brought Askuwheteau and Ketominer on the show to share with me their grand vision behind nodl...why they've made certain design decisions and what we can expect to see from them in the future. A great listen for anyone on the fence about which hardware node they should get.

Today I'm joined by my friend Ben for Episode 14. We talk about the Bitcoin Spectrum put out by Unchained Capital and cover all of the major pillars that are required to get a solid grasp of why Bitcoin is so important. This is a complex topic, but we did our best to cover all the bases in a single episode.

Episode 17 I'm joined by @_ConnerBrown_ to discuss his new piece "Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and that's great". Conner has some excellent insights on Bitcoin as money and why its lack of an underlying commodity is a good thing for efficient utilization of resources and how it enhances the monetary aspects of a digital currency. Don't miss this one guys!

Episode 16 of the Bitcoin Echo Chamber is a unique episode... a little bit different than what I normally do, my friend Rehan, who lives in India, joined me to discuss Bitcoin and some of the issues he and his peers have faced with trying to bring about adoption in his country. Disclaimer: The audio for this episode is a bit distorted and can be difficult to hear at certain points (the first 15 minutes being the worst). There is a google doc with a full transcription of the episode below for your viewing pleasure. Every episode after this, I will ensure has better audio quality. Thanks.

Had a chat with Matt Odell this week and did a sort of post mortem retrospective of Segwit2x and all of the implications it carried with it. This episode should be a great primer for sorting out the subtle nuances in technical design and network security between Bitcoin and the host of other inferior products in the cryptocurrency space.

Today I had the opportunity to talk with the lightning infrastructure lead for Lightning Labs, the folks who have brought us LND. Alex is a deep well of knowledge and was kind enough to answer a slew of questions I put together with some help from community on all things lightning network. This episode is a must listen for the budding young lightning padawan.

I'm joined this episode with Kyle Torpey a freelance writer for Forbes and Bitcoin Magazine  who has become a notorious diamond in the rough for Bitcoin thought pieces and news coverage. I pick Kyle's brain about the state of "crypto journalism", how to break into the space, and some of his personal thoughts on Bitcoin and events that have transpired since he started writing in 2014. This episode has lots of great little tidbits.
