"Some People Talking About Bitcoin"

Recorded 03-29-2011

Bad Philosophers: Kevin Saunders, Stephen Torrence, Kiki Canon, Darrell Duane

Do you like money? Sure! Have you ever asked yourself why money is valuable? Maybe. Perhaps you've even asked yourself how you could make money better. Well, a few years ago a guy named Satoshi Nakamoto did that and more. He invented Bitcoin, the peer-to-peer digital currency that's taking the Interwebs by storm. Here to discuss the economics and philosophy of value surrounding this revolutionary concept were BF regulars (or irregulars?) Kevin Saunders and Kiki Canon. We were also blessed to have Washington D.C. native and contact improvisation dancer Darrell Duane of BitcoinBonus and BitcoinCambio as our very special guest. So hop in the back seat, set your miners to Generate and come join us on a journey through cyberpunk economics, cryptographic currency, and squeeze-tastic sexual pairings. We so excited to have you along for the ride!
