Ep #22 The Banks (well, one bank, anyway) finally get what Bitcoin is

Peter and Dale introduce Scott Philips aka Dr. Splot in this episode to give you more of an idea of who he is and why he's another important asset in MBTC's space.

Julian Smith also joins us with BitPay's adaptive solution to the block debate. He provides evidence for why he thinks this approach makes sense - we're leaving it for you to do your homework and decide for yourself.

Our headlines cover some very basics, RichardBranson has declared Bitcoin is working... and Blythe the Masters of our wonderful GFC has also added her 2c into this equation so we thought we better make mention of these 'facts'. We are way more excited that one of Australia's Big4 banks has come to their senses and written a decent article on why Bitcoin IS important.

There is a hack of the week this time round, we discuss why crooks socially engineering corruption are giving Bitcoin a bad reputation.

Enjoy!
