Bitcoin in India with Rehan Qureshi BEC016 May 05, 2019

Show notes

Episode 16 of the Bitcoin Echo Chamber is a unique episode... a little bit different than what I normally do, my friend Rehan, who lives in India, joined me to discuss Bitcoin and some of the issues he and his peers have faced with trying to bring about adoption in his country. Disclaimer: The audio for this episode is a bit distorted and can be difficult to hear at certain points (the first 15 minutes being the worst). There is a google doc with a full transcription of the episode below for your viewing pleasure. Every episode after this, I will ensure has better audio quality. Thanks.

Final Message (Deadman's Switch)

Decentralize or Die with Matt Odell BEC015 Apr 28, 2019

Show notes

Had a chat with Matt Odell this week and did a sort of post mortem retrospective of Segwit2x and all of the implications it carried with it. This episode should be a great primer for sorting out the subtle nuances in technical design and network security between Bitcoin and the host of other inferior products in the cryptocurrency space.
Matt is also a co host of Tales from the Crypt, Rabbit Hole recap, which you may or may not remember Marty Bent (the other co-host for RHR) who joined us in BEC002. You don't want to miss their weekly Bitcoin news coverage!

Lightning Architecture with Alex Bosworth BEC013 Apr 13, 2019

Show notes

Today I had the opportunity to talk with the lightning infrastructure lead for Lightning Labs, the folks who have brought us LND. Alex is a deep well of knowledge and was kind enough to answer a slew of questions I put together with some help from community on all things lightning network. This episode is a must listen for the budding young lightning padawan.

Bitcoin Journalism with Kyle Torpey BEC012 Apr 07, 2019

Show notes

I'm joined this episode with Kyle Torpey a freelance writer for Forbes and Bitcoin Magazine who has become a notorious diamond in the rough for Bitcoin thought pieces and news coverage. I pick Kyle's brain about the state of "crypto journalism", how to break into the space, and some of his personal thoughts on Bitcoin and events that have transpired since he started writing in 2014. This episode has lots of great little tidbits.
