Natalie Brunell is joined by actor and comedian T.J. Miller in this hilarious and thought-provoking episode of Coin Stories to discuss Bitcoin.

Topics discussed include:

• How he came to learn about Bitcoin
• Being married to a Bitcoin maxi
• T.J.'s friendship with the Winklevoss twins, Michael Saylor, and other prominent Bitcoiners
• Why other celebrities haven't adopted Bitcoin
• The hurdle of dedicating 50+ hours to learn about Bitcoin
• How broken money/fiat has impacted Hollywood and filmmaking]

Guest Bio: T.J. Miller is an American actor and comedian, known for his roles in the HBO series "Silicon Valley" and the Marvel films "Deadpool" and "X-Men: Apocalypse".

• Bitcoin as a potential neutral reserve asset
• Predictions for market volatility and Bitcoin's future

Arguably, no one explains these concepts better than Lyn Alden. Her analysis is among the best and is sure to give you that "aha" moment, unlocking key pieces of the complex monetary puzzle, and why an alternative, such as Bitcoin, is so important.
