E65 - Disruptive Bitcoin




The Let's Talk Bitcoin Network show

Summary: 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.
