MP3, Links, and More: http://ymb.tc/tcp5That central banks should buy Bitcoin is an increasingly common aspect of the narrative surrounding cryptocurrencies. In late 2015, two economists from the University of the West Indies in Barbados published research on Bitcoin as an important addition to the Central Bank of Barbados’ asset portfolio. Jeremy Stephen, one of the authors, joins me today to explain his interest in Bitcoin and the case for central banks owning Bitcoin. Among other things, Jeremy also discusses the similarities between gold and Bitcoin, permissioned blockchains, his bullishness for Ethereum, and how he answers his students who ask him when to buy Bitcoin. You can read Jeremy’s research here (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2775396) and follow him on Twitter here (https://twitter.com/jeremydstephen).

MP3, Links, and More: http://ymb.tc/tcp4Bitcoin and meat share a strong and increasingly popular association in the world Satoshi Nakamoto created. Vegetables and carbohydrates are passé; filet mignon and prime rib are in vogue. Michael “Bitstein” Goldstein joins me for episode four to explain this trend and clarify that it’s not just a fad. Abandoning carbohydrates and plant food for a zero-carb, ketogenic, or carnivorous diet is an important and long-term decision made by many bitcoiners in obedience to volumes of experiential evidence and evolutionary science that corroborate the astounding effects of an all-meat diet. But why would anyone give up pizza forever? And what exactly does it have to do with Bitcoin? Find out in the latest episode of The Coin Pod, which pairs well with a tall glass of water and a steak.
