Bitcoiners aren’t necessarily known to be witty or charismatic, but my next guest Gary Mahmoud is! An actor who first bought bitcoin in 2013, Gary is a libertarian-inclined Bitcoin proponent who has spent the better part of a decade figuring out the best way to self-custody bitcoin. 

When not exploring the world of Bitcoin, Gary is a working actor often playing doctors and lawyers on various New York based TV procedurals or playing silly dad types on a variety of commercials. Before pursuing a career in the entertainment business, Gary spent six years working in Congress… not too different you could say. 

I’ve only known Gary a short time, but he’s the kind of guy I could chat to for hours and on this episode we touched :
