What Bitcoin Did #23 An Interview with Michael Sonnenshein
July 3rd, 2018 by DSholla **“The taboo nature of the asset class has been shrugged off…Goldman Sachs invested with Digital Currency Group in Circle and as soon as they did that it provided enough cover for pretty much every other bank or financial institution to get involved in the space.”** **— Michael Sonnenshein** The institutional relationship with Crypto Assets has been one of light touch.

What Bitcoin Did #26 An Interview with Richard Burton
July 23rd, 2018 by DSholla **“I think the notion of a protocol which has 21 data centres to which you delegate priority to run smart contracts is a really interesting experiment, but nobody has explained to me why you need $4bn to run that experiment.”** **— Richard Burton** Interview location: Skype Interview date: Wed 18th July 2018 Company: Balanced Software Role: CEO Nothing can prepare you for running your first startup.
