Bitcoin Skepticism with Greg Thomson Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of Magic Internet Money, host Brad Mills discusses guest Ivan Brightly’s time being partnered with Galaxy Digital. Galaxy began as a hedge fund that has since shifted its scope to become the “Goldman-Sachs of Crypto”. Ivan discusses his experience with the company before his departure in January. The pair discuss the impact that ETFs are having and may continue to have on cryptocurrency markets. In addition to that impact, ETFs have the potential to bring centralization to the market. Brad and Ivan debate about Coinbase being anti-bitcoin and whether or not it remains true to libertarian philosophies. Finally, the two share their lessons learned over the past few cycles and share their crypto portfolio experiences.

Nearly 3 months ago in May 2019 when Bitcoin price was about $7900, I met Mario at a carnivore dinner in Toronto and brought him along to do a crossover podcast episode with my standup comedian buddy Bryan O'Gorman.

We discuss what it's like doing standup overseas, Bitcoin basics from Bryan's point of view, whether being your own bank is a good or bad thing as well as a wide range of other financial & political topics.

Nick Beaton is the host of "Third Rail with Nick Beaton: A Comedy Guide To Social Outrage" https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/third-rail-with-nick-beaton-a-comedy-guide-to-social-outrage/id1433019681

I listen to Nick's podcast often and we decided to do a crossover episode.

Nick doesn't know anything about bitcoin, we discuss the basics of cryptocurrency and I try to convince Nick that Bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme.
We then get into social & political discussion including my skepticism over how MSM reports and controls the narrative, how I think the Trump Mueller investigation is just distraction from more impactful issues, and the implications of the Assange arrest.

This episodes dips more into social & political issues because that's what Nick is an expert in.

Comedian Hunter Collins Learns he is a NoCoiner May 07, 2019

Show notes

This episode is with my nocoiner friend Hunter Collins, a comedy writer & standup comedian who was part of the marijiuana legalization activist movement in Toronto.

Hunter & I used to do sketch & standup comedy together in Toronto in a previous life. I gave up on comedy it to become an entrepreneur & twitter shitposter, but he’s stuck with the comedy thing and is really good at it.

I wanted to do some episodes of the podcast with people who aren’t doing this full time … typically bitcoin podcasts are being done with influencers, developers, crypto founders or others embedded in the Bitcoin space … but I wanted to do something different and get an idea of how far away we might be from mass adoption of bitcoin as money by talking to some above average nocoiner friends.

Bitcoin vs Altcoins with NotSoFast Mar 30, 2019

Show notes

bitconnect theme by schmoyoho, graphics by CryptoScamHub, Magic Internet Money inspired by u/mavensbot, invention of bitcoin & all cryptocurrencies by satoshi nakamoto.

My name is Brad Mills, I am a Bitcoiner. I am not a coder, I look at Bitcoin through the lens of a user & I believe BTC is the best form of money. It’s free speech money. Digital Gold. Programmable money for the age of the internet, uncensorable, peer to peer cash. A new asset class, a store of value. One of the most important open source inventions of our time, gifted to the world by an anonymous creator whose identity is still not known! I fell down the rabbit hole & have been following Bitcoin since 2011. I am not trying to make money with this show or sell you anything. This podcast is my evolving journey in the world of cryptocurrency as I try to reconcile my bitcoin maximalist philosophy & my respect for the Austrian Economic, Libertarian & Cypherpunk roots of bitcoin's creation with the the desire to stack BTC by investing in the rest of the space.
