Talk Bitcoin to Me
Ep 2.0: Bitcoin Basics
Show Notes

We feel you. Trying to understand Bitcoin is like trying to understand The Emerald City if you’ve never left Kansas. Come with us, Dorothy. We walk through some easy definitions, break down the title of the Whitepaper, and compare BTC to gold/dollars in terms of properties of money. The Matrix, Tragic Kingdom, the Flaming Lips, and some of our BTC heroes... they all have a place in this podcast.
