This week we talk to Swedish entrepreneur, Sergej Kotliar about his belief that people should be able to pay for just about anything with bitcoin and how he’s working to make that happen.

His company, BitRefill, allows people in 163 countries to top up their prepaid phone balances using bitcoin. 70% of the world uses prepaid phones rather than paying a monthly flat rate plan! That’s huge.

We chat about why phone technology might be a good avenue for popularizing the use of bitcoin as money, and how someone (me?) should start a podcast all about either awkward silences and/or gambling!

Check it out!
