The Let's Talk Bitcoin Network

Shownotes for E79 - A Bitcoin World In what’s got to be the fastest turnaround ever in a Let’s Talk Bitcoin episode, we’re happy to bring you a twenty minute set of exchanges I found particularly interesting from the first panel of January 28ths Bit License hearings taking place in New York City. To succeed, does Bitcoin need to embrace regulation? Lots of perspectives, we’ll let you decide. Over the weekend the North American Bitcoin conference was held in Miami Florida. Record breaking attendance was only one indicator of a very successful event, and today I’m pleased to share another talk from it. NEO and BEE are based out of Cyprus and are on track to be the first brick-and-mortar bitcoin financial institution. We end today's show with George’s talk on how things have gone since their successful fundraiser and upcoming launch. But first, LTB’s Stephanie Murphy caught up with CEO of overstock.com Patrick Byrne about their experiance so far, why they accepted it, when he got his wallet set up and more!

This talk was delivered on 1/25/2014 at the North American Bitcoin Conference in Miami Florida. This talk is delivered by Chris Odom, better known as Fellow Traveler, the creator of the Open Transactions system. The utility of a system like Open Transactions recently Clicked for me, which is a little funny because I've known about it for two years and actually interviewed Chris in 2013 on the topic. Once the lightbulb switched on I saw a little of what our future might look like with interoperable cryptocurrencies minus the centralized exchanges. Thanks to Stephen Malagodi for capturing this audio and being our man on the ground in Miami.

Shownotes for E77 - The Adam Back Interview Adam Back is a British Cryptographer and crypto-hacker. He’s the inventor of Hashcash, the proof of work system used by Bitcoin and after we were initially introduced by a mutual acquaintance Charles Hoskinson, I met him at the vegas conference surrounded by a large huddle of conference attendees listening to him speak in the hall. Adam very rarely does interviews, and so when he agreed without too much reticence I was thrilled. I’m a pretty sharp guy, but I know my strengths and organized what I hoped would be a half hour interview between he and Andreas M. Antonopoulos the next morning before our Brunch meetup. We finished brunch and Andreas never showed up, today I’m pleased to share with you the reason why. What follows is a very deep, lengthy and many times highly technical conversation about Bitcoin. It will not be for everybody, but I encourage you to listen to it anyhow because it is an important conversation. Enjoy the show CREDITS Bitcoin with Adam Back was recorded and produced by Andreas M.
