The Bitcoin Game #26 - Jeff Garzik’s The Future of Bitcoin
September 24th, 2015 by
Rob Hello, welcome to episode 26 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell.
Back some months ago, Los Angeles had its first Bitcoin conference called The State Of Digital Money. Jeff Garzik (Bitcoin Core Developer for BitPay and CEO of Dunvegan Space Systems) was the featured speaker, and he gave a presentation called The Future of Bitcoin. I originally believed the presentation needed the accompanying visual slides, but after giving the audio of Jeff's presentation a fresh listen, I realized...

The Bitcoin Game #25 - Mining At Scale with Marco Streng
September 10th, 2015 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 25 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell.
If I were to meet Marco Streng on the street, I’d never guess he hands-on controls perhaps the largest amount of hashing power in the world. Marco is the CEO and cofounder of Genesis mining, a company that mines for profit, and also offers cloud mining. I met Marco back at the State Of Digital Money conference in Los Angeles earlier this year, as he was one of the speakers.
I've always been skeptical about cloud minin...

The Bitcoin Game #24 - Exploring Purse with Andrew Lee
August 27th, 2015 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 24 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell.
Earlier this month I got to speak with Andrew Lee from Purse, a company that allows people to use Bitcoin to buy stuff on Amazon, and at pretty large discounts. My own first thought about Purse was that it was some strange company trying to shoehorn its way between Bitcoiners and Amazon. But after talking to Andrew, I now see Purse as a company that is helping to spread the use and adoption of Bitcoin throughout the world. ...

The Bitcoin Game #23 - Mainstream Investing with the Bitcoin Investment Trust
August 14th, 2015 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 23 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell.
I decided to experiment with buying Bitcoin a new way; I bought shares of the Bitcoin Investment Trust. The trust is the first, and I believe the only current way a U.S. citizen can add an investment in Bitcoin to a recognized retirement account. You can buy shares of the Bitcoin Investment Trust with symbol GBTC using a standard brokerage account, just like buying a stock or ETF. You could argue that one doesn't actually o...

The Bitcoin Game #22 - Blockchain Technology Panel from SODM15
July 30th, 2015 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 22 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell.
In today’s podcast you’ll hear the Blockchain Tech panel from the State Of Digital Money conference, which took place earlier this year in Los Angeles. I thought it was a very fun panel that was filled with many insights. You might say the panel was stacked a bit on the side of blockchain tech over Bitcoin, and Bitcoin maximalists (amongst others) may not agree with some of the points made. But hopefully everyone can st...

March 1st, 2015 by Rob Welcome to episode 11 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell.
It's great to live in a big city such as Los Angeles because of the opportunity to network with people doing amazing things in the Bitcoin space. While Paul Puey founded Airbitz from San Diego, he still has managed to attend enough Los Angeles Bitcoin meetups that he seems like a local. In January of this year, Airbitz was selected by Plug and Play to take part in their Startup Camp Accelerator in Silicon Valley. Paul still had no...

February 15th, 2015 by Rob Welcome to episode 10 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell.
I wanted to really have fun and celebrate this 10th episode. I never knew if I'd be able to get ten episodes out, so this is quite an achievement for me. With that in mind, I decided to focus on something the entire cryptocurrency community loves to talk about… Taxes!
While cryptocurrency taxes may not be a favorite topic, I actually had a lot more fun than I expected, speaking to Jake Benson, CEO and founder of LibraTax. Thi...

The Bitcoin Game #9 - Gray Bright, Hardware Interfaces
February 2nd, 2015 by Rob Welcome to The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell.
In December of 2014, I went to visit Gray Bright, an Australian currently living in Los Angeles. He's been a maker all his life, and he graduated with an advanced degree in Robotic and Mechatronic Engineering. Gray has notable experience in product development, but what he enjoys making most are hardware / software creations that simply make him smile. Gray is also involved at mixing entertainment and comedy with tech and science. He shares two...

The Bitcoin Game #8 - Danno Ferrin, Bitstamp & Visualization
January 18th, 2015 by Rob Welcome to The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell.
Danno Ferrin's current day job is working on Java for the Oracle Corporation. But for fun, Danno uses his programming skills to create visualization software for the BItcoin blockchain. In the wake of the large Bitstamp theft, Danno has been able to analyze some of the Bitcoin movements, using his software. Danno might be one of the most knowledgeable people about the loss, other than insiders like Bitstamp employees and the actual hacker (I ha...
