The Daily Bitcoin - Feature Friday! Episode 5 for April 12, 2013




The Let's Talk Bitcoin Network show

Summary: If you enjoy the show, please vote us up on Reddit! We've had a number of people vote down and complain about this nearly 40 minute episode less than 20 minutes after I've uploaded it... http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1c98lk/the_daily_bitcoin_show_feature_friday_interview/ ----Editors Note This has been one heck of a week, this is our fifth show produced in five days and doing nearly all the technical work myself (Adam B. Levine) and then doing the shows as well has been quite a feat, but it's also been incredibly fun and absolutely exhilarating. Thank you VERY MUCH for listening to our brand new project, the enthusiastic response has led us to decide that this is a worthwhile format that we intend to continue for at least the rest of the year. The hosts may change at times (Eli is getting married and going on a honeymoon next month!) but the point is this: Complicated topics need explanation, and it's not a one-time conversation that provides the whole picture. Over the next few months we'll be improving the quality further and rolling out the Weekly show, I am actively looking for those who would like to be audio journalists to work with me on that project - If you are interested, please email me at adam@mindtomatter.org. You do not need experience, or technical expertise - You just need to believe that most media reporting is unacceptably poor quality, and have the want to change that for the better. If that's you, this is your opportunity - Don't miss out. To everyone, please share this with your friends and relatives and thank you for helping make The Daily Bitcoin show such a success in its first week. If you'd like to support what we're doing, please send tips to 17a9wVHHwmDo8pPfjsmgfpob72P9SNU9i5 - No amount is too small, we charge our advertisers (Two 30 second slots starting next week) in Bitcoin, and we pay our contractors in Bitcoin. it's working really really well so far even as the price has been all the heck over the place. Thank you for listening, Adam B. Levine Lead, The Daily Bitcoin Show SHOWNOTES: Feature Friday!
