Further Discussion: Alex Adelman, lolli

In the bitcoin community, the subject of adoption is often discussed. How can we get more people to start learning about and interacting with bitcoin? Many people are hesitant to invest in such a volatile asset, and are intimidated by the learning curve required to get involved, and this has slowed adoption. What if you could tell people that all they had to do to start playing with (read: accumulating) bitcoin was to install a browser extension, and shop online as they already do? Nothing to re...

Further Discussion: Raoul Pal

Before the rapid-fire portion of our conversation, I asked Raoul to elaborate on a recent thread on Twitter in which he made his case that the probability was high that the world was on the precipice of a substantial recession. We also had a more general discussion about Bitcoin, how he's approaching it, and his thoughts on its Future.

Further Discussion: American Hodl

American Hodl: Bitcoin Twitter Gangster and Relentless Stacker of Sats

American Hodl is the pseudonym for a guy on 'Bitcoin Twitter' (people on twitter that pretty much only tweet about Bitcoin). I came across his tweets somehow, and just kinda liked how he got down, so I asked him if he wanted to record a chat. He agreed, so we did, and it was awesome. P.S. He's also the most relentless stacker of sats (translation: constant buyer of fractions of a bitcoin, known as 'Saotshi's' or 'sats') on Bitcoin twitter, and always boldly broadcasts his purchases. This may see...
