The Bitcoin Game #56: Paper Wallet Inventor Peter Kroll
July 4th, 2018 by
Rob Welcome to episode 56 of *The Bitcoin Game*, I'm Rob Mitchell. I met Peter Kroll at a Bitcoin conference about a year ago. When I asked Peter what his involvement was with Bitcoin, he told me he created the original Bitcoin paper wallet at BitAddress.org. I was pretty impressed, having used his tool often! Peter had kept it a secret that he was behind BitAddress.org until late 2014, and even since then, he's kept a pretty low profile. We cover a ton of topics in this exclusive interview, includ...

May 15th, 2018 by Rob Welcome to episode 54 of *The Bitcoin Game*, I'm Rob Mitchell. Back in 2015, I had been waiting and waiting for a Bitcoin conference to be held here in Los Angeles.

This episode I speak with Mike In Space, longtime creator of Bitcoin memes, and more recently, the host of the comedy series, *Bitcoin Car Talk*.

Charles and Eric Lombrozo to dig a bit deeper into some issues around scaling and Bitcoin forks. In this e... Read More -
The Bitcoin Game #47: Scaling Bitcoin with Paul Puey, Tone Vays, Ryan X. Charles, and Eric Lombrozo
August 3rd, 2017 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 47 of *The Bitcoin Game*, I'm Rob Mitchell. We recently had the State Of Digital Money, the first big Bitcoin conference in Los Angeles since 2015. Actually, I'm unsure if I should call it a Bitcoin conference, since the majority of the presentations were not directly related to Bitcoin. Luckily for me, I got to moderate a panel on scaling Bitcoin with notable Bitcoiners: Core developer Eric Lombrozo, longtime Bitcoin developer Ryan X. Charles, vocal trader and personal...

The Bitcoin Game #37: Back in the Saddle with Christopher Camp
July 15th, 2016 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 37 of *The Bitcoin Game.* I'm Rob Mitchell. Everyone has a unique story. When I started this podcast, I really wanted to talk to Bitcoiners who hadn’t been exposed in Bitcoin media. There are a couple of really interesting local Bitcoin traders I've tried to interview, but surprisingly, sometimes it's easier to get a Bitcoin core developer on the show, than many of the lesser-known people who also have Bitcoin-centric lives.
