Todays episode is a two-parter. In Segment one, Youll hear my talk from the Inside Bitcoins conference that took place in Manhattan on the 30th of July. In it, I lay out my findings on content monetization with Bitcoin several months after diving into the space, and propose the open source platform that will allow any community to leverage Cryptocurrency as a way to build self-sustaining, net productive communities on the internet. In Segment Two (This one) We take a trip in the way-back machine, to an authors@Google talk given in early 2007 by Rod Beckstrom, a very smart guy and one of the authors of a pivitol book in my personal journey to understanding Bitcoin called The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations. This hour long talk about decentralized organizations came years before Bitcoin applied those same concepts to money, but the driving force and inherent attributes are the same. I've decided to present today's show Ad free, so send us a tip if you want to support our model. Enjoy the show,

Hi and Welcome to the Bitcoin Foundation Individual Seat Candidate Debate, my name is Adam B. Levine - Im a Media Entrepreneur and the Editor-in-Chief of Lets Talk Bitcoin, a twice weekly show about the Ideas People and Projects building the new digital economy and the future of money. Founded last year, The Bitcoin Foundation has in its brief tenure organized the largest and arguably most influential Conference to date, issued a number of responses to legal challenges, and pro-actively engaged with regulators and legislators in an effort to close the knowledge gap, and impart a more nuanced understanding of the network. September of 2013 sees the first new seats added to the Foundations board, one with candidates chosen from the Individual Membership and the other from the Industry membership. With increased attention from governmental bodies all over the world, a growing userbase and change on the horizon, whoever wins the seats will help influence the direction of the foundation, and represent the interests of the community. It is an important role. Todays debate is comprised of eight total segments, with questions crowdsourced from the Foundations Members and the Bitcoin Subreddit. I will ask a question, and candidates will have 90 seconds maximum to answer when prompted. As this is a role that will likely involve publicly representing Bitcoin, answers were not edited as we usually do for Lets Talk Bitcoin. Of the 14 Candidates running for the individual seat, 11 will join us today. Ben Davenport lost his voice at a very inconvenient time and was not able to participate, you can find his written responses in the accompanying transcripts courtesy of Bitcoin Magazine. Edward Clements and Pedro Fernandes were not able to schedule with us in the allotted time. Participating Candidates: Aaron Lasher Christian Kammler Dmitry Murashchik Duncan Goldie-Scot Elizabeth Ploshay Joerg Platzer Luke Dashjr Nilam Doctor Noah Silverman Ryan Deming Trace Mayer As a member of the foundation Personally,I decided to donate my time to organize and create this debate because I wanted to learn more about the individual candidates and what they truly believe about some of the more pivotal issues in our near future. Having spoken with 11 of the 14 candidates running I just want to express my gratitude to everyone running. The perspectives, experiances and skillsets each candidate brings to the table is formidable and extremely impressive. The diversity of opinions and approaches mirrors the broader community, and I want to congratulate both the individuals and the foundation as a whole for fielding such an impressive array of candidates for just a single seat. I give you, the Bitcoin Foundation Individual Candidate Debate.

This week saw a flurry of news excitedly claiming disaster or deliverance from a set of meetings the Bitcoin Foundation undertook in the US Capital, Washington DC. Bitcoin NYCs Jonathan Mohan sat down with Marco Santori, head of the Foundations Regulatory Affairs committee and one of the primaries at this weeks meetings in question to figure out what went on and if its something for the average user to worry about Bitcoin, Litecoin, BBQ-Coin, Mastercoin? One of these things is not like the other, and towards the end of todays show I speak with J.R. Willets who is at the end of a successful crowdfunding launch about what that means and why everyone should be excited about his new payment layer, called Mastercoin Throughout the show Im joined by Stephanie and Andreas for a variety of discussions, from the potential for Bitcoin Exchanges on American Indian Reservations to the Terracoin Timewarp attack, and what can be learned to it, and finally about physical Bitcoins and their unique proposition to trade digital advantages and hurdles for their physical equivalents. Enjoy the show, and make sure to check out the new LetsTalkBitcoin.com - In the last few days Jeff Fong took a look at De-Nationalizing Money with Bitcoin in Hayek to Satoshi and Beyond.
