Are You a Bitcoiner?
Lau: I would call myself a Bitcoiner since about 2014. He says he got interested in the currency after it didn't completely die from MTGOCs crash and craziness. Lau is an undergraduate degree in economics and his grandfather was a big gold bug. "I think probably the most important thing is just realizing that you can really believe in something"
Preston Pysh interviews Lyle Pratt, an entrepreneur of multiple successful businesses, and a telecommunications and spam expert. They talk about the intersection of the Bitcoin Lightning Network and how it offers a solution to the worsening spam and bots that litter our social media and phone calls.
