Summary: On the first Coinsider This! podcast, I introduce myself, and we discuss this phenomenon of Bitcoin. I'll explain why I started this show, and what my hopes are for it. We'll take a call from Aaron, a Bitcoin enthusiast. I'll explain a little bit about Bitcoin addresses, how they're created, and why you should never try to type one manually. I'll go over some ways to jump in and get started with Bitcoin, and challenge you to write in and share your thoughts and experiences.
