Bitcoin Rapid-Fire
John Vallis
Bitcoin is the future of money, that is my firm belief. I use this show to learn more about this phenomenon, and its various implications, from some of the brightest minds in the space, and beyond. I'm not trying to educate or inform anyone, I'm sharing my own journey of attempting to understand bitcoin, and delving in to some of the less obvious, but incredibly profound, aspects of its emergence in the global culture.

Rapid-Fire: Brady, Citizen Bitcoin Podcast
Brady is the host and creator of Citizen Bitcoin, which in my opinion is one of the best podcasts in the bitcoin space. He has a very accessible style, is very well informed, and is always able to extract great insights from some of the top experts and entrepreneurs in the industry.
I thought it would be fun to connect with Brady, hear how he got started with the pod, and of course, have some fun talking about bitcoin:)
Enjoy!

Rapid-Fire: Young Nik
I came across Nik (@nikcantmine) on twitter and just loved his attitude and approach to bitcoin. I then somehow found out that he was only 20 years old (he probably referenced school or something), and I thought it would be interesting to pick his brain and get the ’20 year old’ perspective’ on bitcoin.
This was an awesome chat, and Nik really appears to be a young dude with his head screwed on right - the embodiment of 'Stay Humble, Stack Sats'.
Enjoy!

Rapid-Fire: Jean Amiouny, Shakepay
In this interview I speak with Jean Amiouny, Co-Founder and CEO of Canadian bitcoin wallet/exchange, Shakepay. I came across Shakepay, tried it out, and was blown away by how easy and fast it was to fund, buy bitcoin, and withdraw. As a result, I thought it would be fun to speak with Jean to learn about how they do this and discuss the bitcoin scene in Canada.
Enjoy!

He also writes about Bitcoin, and has some AMAZING articles on his Medium page which address some of bitcoin's most fundamental concepts in a very wholistic yet concise way (Recommendation: Money, Bitcoin and Time).
