Summary: 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.
