The Bitcoin Podcast

The Boys are back as the Crypto World is ending, have you secured your bags?

This is a Flashback Episode, is going back to Sept  2018 in which Emin Gün Sirer makes his first of appearances on  Hashing it Out part of The Bitcoin Podcast Network. Revolutionary! On this episode we have the brilliant Dr. Gün Sirer to whet our appetites for Avalanche, a new category of consensus protocol. He distinguishes Avalanche from Paxos/RAFT systems, blockchain, and traditional gossip networks to show how this new algorithm prevents double spends while allowing for high throughput (early tests supporting over 1200 tx/s). We learn about his new coin, Ava, which will test the limits of Avalanche’s public consensus on a global scale! The future is exciting!

This is a Flashback Episode, we are going back to Aug 2018 in which Andreas Antonopoulos on his fourth appearance on The Bitcoin Podcast Network. This episode we discuss the wide array of wallets and why you should, or should not, own multiple versions. There’s no “one size fits all” Bitcoin wallet. Wallets come on different platforms with different features, so we felt this was an important topic to dive into. We do discuss CoolWallet S primarily and there is a discount code for our listeners below. In addition, we chatted with Andreas Antonopoulos, who swung by for a fourth time to hang out with us. We’ve watched dozens of his interviews over the years and they still blow our minds. No one else we’ve seen comes close to this level of articulation when it comes to the future of crypto. Strap in!

Dee, Jessie, and Corey talk about the Star Trek Utopian concept of human society, working remotely in the crypto space, and how do you say ETH?

This is a Flashback Episode, going back to June 2020 in which Emin Gün Sirer makes his sixth of seven appearances on The Bitcoin Podcast Network.

This is a Flashback Episode, we are going back to Nov 2017 in which Andreas Antonopoulos on his third appearance on The Bitcoin Podcast Network. As an engaging public speaker, teacher and writer, Andreas makes complex subjects accessible and easy to understand. As an advisor, he helps startups recognize, evaluate, and navigate security and business risks. Andreas comes on our show to complete the trilogy of appearances to give us some peace of mind in an otherwise crazy last couple of weeks. The bitcoin and open blockchain community is drowning in corporate propaganda. Objective, independent and strong voices that are not beholden to promoting special interests can make a huge difference in the narrative. And well, if you are intending on listening to this week's episode, there is a good chance you’ve probably seen some of his work already and you realize how much time, money, and effort goes into producing original content with an independent perspective. What you might not know is that almost all of the content that we produce is both free and open-source, and will remain so forever. That is the spirit Andreas functions on as well.

This is a Flashback Episode, we are going back to June 2018 in which Emin Gün Sirer makes his third of seven appearances on The Bitcoin Podcast Network. Back for the third time, Emin stops by to drop some knowledge bombs on us!

In addition, the boys chat about EOS mainnet experiencing a ‘Freeze’ two days after launch!

Today Corey talks with Rajeev Gopalakrishna, founder of Secureum. Secureum is a premiere bootcamp for Web3 security auditors. We're going to dive into the problem with finding quality talent in the security space and how he's attempting to fix it. We are also joined by 4 of the top performers in the first iteration of the program to hear about their experience and what their plans are now.

This is a Flashback Episode, we are going back to Jan 2017 in which Andreas Antonopoulosgreets us at the beginning of the bull run of 2017 on his second appearance on  The Bitcoin Podcast Network. When I dove down the rabbit hole of Bitcoin in late 2013, Andreas’ YouTube talks and podcasts pulled me further in. He swings by the show again to tell us a bit about the current scene of crypto and to talk a bit about his new book, The Internet of Money. Beyond the more pragmatic applications of cryptocurrency for the millions of unbanked around the world, Andreas also waxes philosophic on deeper topics such as the history of money, the role cryptocurrency can play for individual sovereignty and privacy, and the implications of currency as language, where currency transfer is, at root, an expression of value akin to speech. In addition, in a few days we’ll be in DC to celebrate Equibit and the opening date of their official ICO! Matt McKibbin swings by the show to talk a bit about it. If you want to participate sign up here – https://ico.equibit.org/ EDC is building Equibit, the world’s first peer-to-peer equity marketplace and a complete platform for issuers to manage their investor relations without the need for depositories and transfer agents. Equibit allows issuers to use cryptocurrency tokens, called ‘equibits’, to authorize and disseminate their shares. It also includes a secure, P2P communications system allowing for private messages and polls to be instantly sent to individuals and groups on the network. It is important to invest on things that will give back to you, one of the best recommendations I give is to find a good insurance company such as One Sure Insurance to always get full cover.
