Citizen Bitcoin

This episode compiles some audio I collected walking around the Bitcoin 2019 conference in San Francisco. So, go into this one imagining you’re at Bitcoin 2019 having conversations in various corners with some great bitcoiners. I talk to Jack Maulers, Bitcoin TINA, Lyn Ulbricht, Nick Ward from Layer One BTC, Robert Breedlove of Paralax Digital, Ti Kawamoto, Steve Jeffress, Terrance Yang, Gus GG from Artolin.org and Guy Swann and myself finish it up with a reasonably drunken conversation outside our AirBnB in SF on the final night of the conference after Peter McCormack’s odd yet super fun dueling piano bar party.
