Epicenter Bitcoin

On February 12 and 13th we attended the Inside Bitcoins Conference in Berlin. After two months of podcasting together, it was the first time we met in person. We had lots of fun interviewing many people from the bitcoin community, attending interesting talks and capturing bitcoin at this unique moment in its history. This is one of a series of episodes about this conference. The night before the conference, we were at Room 77, the world’s first brick and mortar establishment to accept bitcoin. We were joined by many members of Berlin’s bitcoin community and attendees of the conference. We took this opportunity to capture the atmosphere and the many exciting conversations we had there. We hope you enjoy them. Thank to all the people who agreed to talk to us!
