BITCOINERS IN THE WILD w/ Tyler Campbell

'Bitcoiners in the Wild' is exactly what it sounds like.  It's a series where I record live conversations with relatively 'unknown' bitcoiners, who have reached out to me saying they'd be interested in coming on for a general discussion about bitcoin and related subjects. No prep or planning, no topics discussed beforehand, just a spontaneous discussion between bitcoiners.  It always amazes me how many awesome bitcoiners there are out there, and it's so great to be able to speak with some of them.  Enjoy!  --  More from Tyler:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/clockwork_prior  More from me:    TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA    YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg    MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex    INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.

BITCOIN IS REVOLUTIONIZING THE LEGACY ENERGY INDUSTRY with Steve Barbour and Marty Bent

Even though bitcoin has been around for over 11 years now, we are just beginning to discover how to leverage its unique attributes to solve existing problems, and create new oportunities. Though most people think of bitcoin's impact on money and finance, its unique characteristics are proving to be extremely useful to another industry - energy. Steve Barbour and Marty Bent are both involved in the leading companies which are building solutions for harnessing waste and stranded gas from oil fields, to mine bitcoin. In doing so, they are allowing energy producers to establish new revenue streams, while simultaneously reducing their environmental footprint. As you'll hear in this discussion, though in its infancy, this is a solution that seems poised to revolutionize the energy industry.

TO MULTI-SIG OR NOT w/ Phil Geiger and Ben Carman

Bitcoin security is one of the most important things to learn about when entering this space. It also requires constant refinement, as new technologies and methods are developed for providing more robust and functional solutions. Multi-Sig is one such method that has become an increasingly popular way to secure bitcoin, in a manner that is not reliant upon a single point of failure. However, some people have not been sufficiently convinced of the benefits to warrant going through the effort and learning curve of making such a change to their current setup. I thought it would be helpful to have a discussion about the merits and drawbacks of this approach to security with two people on either side of the debate.  Enjoy!  -  More from Phil:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/phil_geiger  WEBSITE: https://unchained-capital.com/  More from Ben:  TWITTER: https://twitter.com/benthecarman  More from me:  TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA   YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg   MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex   INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/30r7IqY The BitBox02 Bitcoin-Only Hardware Wallet is a safe and easy way to do so.
