Longform candid casual cousin conversation on cryptocurrency. For the new and curious. Overview of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.

Last July, our family gathered in Puerto Vallarta for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. I got to talking to my cousin David and realized he is a wealth of information on cryptocurrency.

He got into bitcoin enough years ago that he did well. 

I asked him just about every question I had.
