Every podcast I do I learn something new and exciting. Today was no different. I thought I understood what Cryptography and cryptocurrencies were. Truthfully, I learned a ton of really valuable information today. You just have to listen to Paul Rosenberg's thoughts and ideas. I know you'll love it as much as I did. Also, I really encourage all of you to get Paul's book: Lodging of Wayfaring Men. It was written long before it was published, and I know you'll see things just a little differently after you're done.Mentioned in this episode:
