My name is Adam B. Levine, and you’re going to pawn your Bitcoins. Wait, what? John Light is the founder of new venture Pawncoin that allows you to get a payday loan for part of your Cryptocurrencies value. Stephanie and John talk through the idea at the Vegas event. Then, Bitcoin the currency or token is fundamentally different than Bitcoin the technology, or network. Stephanie, Andreas and I discuss the problems of widely available but anonymized data and what happens when genuinely no one person knows all the answers. Later, Alan Safahi is the CEO of ZipZap, a company that in a perfect world you’d never hear about because they blend seamlessly into the background. Andreas is at the Latin America conference talking pre-paid cards, remittance and the slow creep of progress in a regulated world. And finally, Rik Willard, the founder of MintCombine a worldwide incubator taking an interest in Bitcoin. He and Stephanie talk about the HTML to Bitcoin’s TCP/IP, how he got his first Bitcoin and riding the wave of cryptocurrency. I’m on vacation - Enjoy the show...

Have you ever lost something carelessly only to discover later it was wildly valuable? As the price of Bitcoin goes up, that initial carelessness is now fueling a hunt for treasure, and perhaps a darker side to? Andreas, Stephanie and I talk Lost Bitcoins, locked or misplaced as Buried Treasure Then, on Thursday the 5th of December I found myself at the Plug and Play Tech Center moderating a panel discussion about Bitcoin. In contrast to our normal deep dive interviews, this one plays out like five mini-interviews with Lightspeed Venture’s David Chen, Ripple Lab’s Chris Larsen, Perkins Coie Partner J Cabou, Gyft CEO Vinny Lingham and BitAngel.Co’s David Johnston. And finally - Where does value come from? Is it the money we use, or the system that controls it? Ed Rex performs his piece Satoshi and the New Gold to end todays show.

In a fiat world, everything is subject to change and that’s exactly what happened in Argentina one recent november night. Andreas, Stephanie and I talk Cryptocurrency and Corruption, Black Markets and Opportunity. Then, CoinPunk is a project funded in part by a grant from the Bitcoin Foundation. Simply put, they allow Bitcoin payments on mobile devices without needing a native application. As we sometimes do, LTB is happy to share the first transaction ever made using this important innovation. Later, Andreas is in Argentina for the Latin America Bitcoin Conference. He caught up with Manuel Arraoz, the founder and chief developer of ProofOfExistence.com, the Block-chain Notary Service to talk about fixing moments in time, how Bitcoin 0.9 will change the game for meta-services using it and more. And finally, we step back a bit from Bitcoin and look for a moment at the larger world we live in. Bitcoin is disruptive financial tech that hasn’t yet been stopped because those who wish it ill can’t find a head to chop off or a body to drag into court. BSS has been thinking about where all of this is heading, and it’s an idea worth hearing. We end todays show with Silicon Valley’s Ultimate Exit.

In the months and years to come, I suspect we’ll be talking about Distributed Applications more and more, and if David Johnston and Ron Gross have it their way, they’ll be built on Mastercoin, which is itself built on Bitcoin. The bulk of todays show is my talk with Ron and David about this major evolutionary step from Cryptocurrencies, to cryptoequities and beyond. Visit http://www.letstalkbitcoin.com/da for more information But first, The gang’s all here! Stephanie, Andreas and I finally get a chance to talk Millibits, is it time to change?

ED AND ETHAN SHOWNOTES: (http://edandethan.com/podcast/ed-ethan-86-bountiful-baskets-of-bitcoin-banter-blather-and-bluster/) Well, we had a veritable cornucopia of stories lined up for this week but the Bitcoin bug bit us and bit hard.After hearing Peter Schiff talk about how Bitcoin is a Ponzi Scheme, we decided to book him for a quick back and forth that turned into an entire segment! We couldn’t let it go and turned to Erik Vorhees, a Bitcoin business rockstar and eloquent defender of the world’s leading cryptocurrency to take on some common myths pushed by Peter during our second half.

Shownotes for Episode 62 - The $900 Episode - Let's Talk Bitcoin! Andreas is back on native soil again educating about Bitcoin and visiting family, he checks in with an interview from Athens Based Hackerspace GR. They talk culture and how easy those early bitcoins came and went in the days before their value was understood. Then, the battle for your Bitcoins online is often a battle against bugs and those who would exploit them to your detriment. The guys at Crowdcurity have taken the bug hunt to an institutional level, we talk websites and wallet security, bitcoins and bounties Later, Anthony Di Iorio is a familiar face on Let’s Talk Bitcoin because he’s always doing so many things. We catch up about the major canadian conference they’re planning for spring, the mysteriously named and very cool open source KryptoKit project and more. Finally, Where do you stand on Coin Validate Whitelist? I’ve been talking to a lot of folks and thinking way too much on the topic, we wrap todays show with my best explanation of the problem, the project and the current battlelines surrounding this pivotal upcoming issue.

Shownotes for Episode 61 - Let's Talk Bitcoin for New Users Long promised, much anticipated, wistfully let out the door and featuring a guest performance by Zhou Tongued, I’m really pleased to share the Lets Talk Bitcoin for New Users episode. Stephanie and I joined forces for an hour long conversation covering the nuts and bolts in an easily understandable way. Our aim here is to create a show that can be shared with friends and family who might want very much to learn about Bitcoin but don’t even know where to start. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, but there really is one question that stands above all the rest - What is Bitcoin? CREDITS The New User Show was produced by Adam B. Levine and edited by Matthew Zipkin. It featured Stephanie Murphy and Adam B. Levine What is Bitcoin performed and provided by Vooza and although quite funny, is quite wrong. Music was provided by Jared Rubens and Zhou Tongued. What did you think of Zhou Tongued? I’ve got several other Bitcoin related parodies that I think are quite good but I’m not sure if they’re appropriate for the show. Questions or comments?

Shownotes for Episode 60 - Everything Old is New Again When I say gift card you think plastic, but with smartphone app Gyft you can put away your wallet and cash in your bitcoin. I sat down with Gyft CEO Vinny Lingham to talk Giftcards as budgeting in the modern world, the allure of the bitcoin meal, and why spending bitcoin now gets you more bang for your giftcard buck. Then, Coinlab can’t catch a break - Aside from the ongoing Mt.Gox drama, their first internally incubated project rolled over in less than six months with massive losses. Would the price of Bitcoin have changed the fate of this failure? Andreas and Stephanie join me to talk about it. We end todays show with an editorial from LTB Contributing Editor George Ettinger. His proposal, entitled Infinitely Divided we Stand is a question and a challenge - You can email him directly via george@letstalkbitcoin.com But first, Silk Road is Dead - Long Live Silk Road! Before the dust has settled, a new site claiming to be born from the ashes of the old has emerged, and a new Dread Pirate Roberts has been crowned. Is this the napster effect or a honey pot? Is a “New Silk Road” better than an old Black Market Reloaded? And what’s in a name anyway?

Shownotes for Episode 59 - The Bitcoin Center of Gravity Bitfunder is dead, long live... Oh wait, there’s nothing replacing Bitfunder. I’m joined by Andreas and Stephanie to talk about the early demise of the budding Bitcoin Unlicensed Securities market, the reach of the SEC, the upcoming congressional hearings and Bitcoin’s new center of gravity. Then, Protoshares is a new altcoin from invictus innovations claiming to be a crypto-ETF on everything produced by the Virginia based company. After launching last week, things quickly went exponential and more than 3 months worth of blocks were mined in less than a week. Daniel Larimer rejoins us at the end of today show for a quick post-mortem on what happened, what went wrong, and if anything about their plan has changed in light of recent changes.
