Episode five of Bitcoin is Hard features Liz Wolfe, Associate Editor at Reason Magazine. Liz and Brian talk about an often times central issue to Bitcoin adoption which is capital gains tax. Liz gives a refreshing perspective on the current state of crypto affairs as someone who is in the scene tangentially but not always heavily involved in every up to the minute Bitcoin update. We super appreciate Liz giving us a few minutes of her time and want to create more in roads with non crypto focused media outlets as Bitcoin continues its dominating path into more and more aspects of our lives.
