E37 - The Price of Legitimacy, Physical Bitcoins and Meeting Mastercoin




The Let's Talk Bitcoin Network show

Summary: 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.
