Bob Burnett: Becoming a citizen of Bitcoin - BFM029
ℹ️ Apologies for my bad sound. I made a rookie mic mistake. It's fixed about 50m in, but Bob's sound is perfect and he is a joy to listen to :) hope you enjoy it!
Bob Burnett has founded several companies in the Bitcoin mining space and is currently the Founding CEO of Barefoot Mining, a company that develops Bitcoin mining sites. He holds a degree in Computer Engineering, has 8 patents, and over 35 years of experience in the technology industry. He also founded and manages the Barefoot Bitcoin Fund, serves on the board of directors for Ocean Mining, and is on the board of advisors for the Satoshi Action Fund. As an evangelist and educator on Bitcoin, Bob is sure about its importance for the world’s future. I hope you enjoy this episode!
