The Bitcoin Game

Welcome to episode 32 of The Bitcoin Game. I'm Rob Mitchell. Today's interview is with Brock Pierce, chairman of the board of The Bitcoin Foundation, and a highly accomplished VC in digital currency. Brock got involved in digital token entrepreneurship at a very young age. By the time Bitcoin was released, Brock had become a veteran in the business of digital currency. After we discuss Brock's background, we talk about the Bitcoin Foundation. Complete show notes with links at TheBitcoinGame.com

Welcome to episode 31 of The Bitcoin Game. I'm Rob Mitchell. I used to run into Valerian Bennett frequently at Los Angeles Bitcoin Meetups in 2014. I thought he’d disappeared from the Bitcoin scene, only to realize how wrong I was. Valerian has taken his experience in mainstream television production, and combined it with his passion for Bitcoin, to create several online Bitcoin video services, with his partner, payment channels developer James Poole.

Welcome to episode 30 of The Bitcoin Game. I'm Rob Mitchell. What’s the oldest "blockchain" company you can think of? What if I told you a Blockchain company in Estonia called Guardtime was founded before the Bitcoin white paper was released? I only found out about Guardtime, thanks to Bitcoin journalist Brian Cohen. I was blown away as I learned about the company, because it appears my understanding of the landscape and history of blockchain technology had been flawed. Full show notes at TheBitcoinGame.c

Welcome to episode 29 of The Bitcoin Game. I'm Rob Mitchell. I first became acquainted with Bitcoin journalist Brian Cohen in mid-2014, as we were both active on the then-new Let’s Talk Bitcoin platform. I saw he was doing some fairly serious Bitcoin journalism. I finally spoke to the man who digs up a lot of the breaking stories that make Bitcoin news.

Welcome to episode 28 of The Bitcoin Game. I'm Rob Mitchell. When I scheduled an interview with CoinCube CEO Robert Allen, I felt pretty skeptical. My gut told me a cloud-based Bitcoin-trading-bot would be something like a cloud-mining Ponzi-scheme on steroids. I wondered, would this interview be my first exposé? Would my "gotcha" questions be too difficult for Robert to field? 7/19/16 UPDATE: Hodling Bitcoin was twice as profitable as using CoinCube. Full show notes at TheBitcoinGame.com

Welcome to episode 27 of The Bitcoin Game, I’m Rob Mitchell. Bitcoins and Gravy has been a hugely influential show for me. In a sea of podcasts with poor audio quality and barely existent production values, Bitcoins and Gravy sounds as well-produced as any podcast I'd ever heard. We spoke for almost two and a half hours, everything from light-hearted talk to John’s very strong views about various subjects. Full show notes with links at TheBitcoinGame.com

Welcome to episode 24 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. Earlier this month I got to speak with Andrew Lee from Purse, a company that allows people to use Bitcoin to buy stuff on Amazon, and at pretty large discounts. My own first thought about Purse was that it was some strange company trying to shoehorn its way between Bitcoiners and Amazon. But after talking to Andrew, I see there’s a lot more to Purse than I realized! Full show notes at TheBitcoinGame.com

Welcome to episode 23 of The Bitcoin Game, I’m Rob Mitchell. In this episode I speak with Michael Sonnenshein, director of Sales & Business Development for Grayscale, which recently launched the Bitcoin Investment Trust (BIT).

Welcome to episode 22 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. In today’s podcast you’ll hear the Blockchain Tech panel from the State Of Digital Money conference, which took place earlier this year in Los Angeles. I thought it was a very fun panel that was filled with many insights. You might say the panel was stacked on the side of Blockchain over Bitcoin, so Bitcoin maximalists may not agree with some points made. Full show notes at TheBitcoinGame.com
