It's here! We are back for the second Roundtable!! What do Coinbase and the Blackrock debacle, paper Bitcoin, the difference between privacy and anonymity, Bitcoin drama, the capitulation of Telegram, the problems of centralized mining pools, and the efforts to re-decentralize it have in common? That's right, Guy's Roundtable!
