The Bitcoin Game #58: Jennifer Zhu Scott
September 12th, 2018 by
Rob Welcome to episode 58 of *The Bitcoin Game*, I'm Rob Mitchell. In January of this year, I saw lots of talk about the World Economic Forum’s speeches and panels in Davos. Even Donald Trump spoke at this event. But the panel I was most interested in was called The Crypto Asset Bubble, and it featured Nobel Prize Laureate Robert Shiller. I didn’t know any of the other panelists, but the one who stuck out to me the most was Jennifer Zhu Scott. She seemed very pro-Bitcoin and was a very eloquent... Read More -
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...

The Bitcoin Game #57: BCH Lead Dev Amaury Séchet
August 2nd, 2018 by Rob Welcome to episode 57 of *The Bitcoin Game*, I'm Rob Mitchell. I’m someone who feels a bit like a Bitcoin Maximalist, yet I still really wanted to learn about Amaury Séchet, lead developer of Bitcoin Cash (EDIT: note it's been pointed out that Amaury is the lead dev of Bitcoin ABC, the main client used for BCH, but he isn't technically the lead dev for BCH - apologies for the inaccurate wording). I like that many of Amaury's opinions seem fairly independent, rather than sticking to a party l... Read More -

The Bitcoin Game #52: Mike In Space
February 28th, 2018 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 52 of *The Bitcoin Game*, I'm Rob Mitchell. 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*. I’ve never heard Mike interviewed, so I thought it would be fun to learn a bit more about him. I enjoy Mike’s unique sense of humor enough that you'll hear me laugh just hearing his voice at the beginning of our conversation.  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... Read More -
The Bitcoin Game #27 - John Barrett of Bitcoins and Gravy
October 9th, 2015 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 27 of *The Bitcoin Game*, I'm Rob Mitchell. I’ve been a podcast listener for many years now, so when I got interested in Bitcoin, listening to Bitcoin podcasts was a natural. I think Adam B. Levine launched *The Daily Bitcoin* the same day I first searched for Bitcoin podcasts. And I've been hooked on Bitcoin podcasts ever since. *Bitcoins and Gravy* has always been a hugely influential show for me. In a sea of podcasts with poor audio quality and barely exist...

The Bitcoin Game #28: Would You Trust a Bitcoin Trading Bot?
October 22nd, 2015 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 28 of *The Bitcoin Game.* I'm Rob Mitchell. When I scheduled an interview with CoinCube CEO Robert Allen, I felt pretty skeptical. My gut told me a cloud-based Bitcoin-trading-bot would be something like a cloud-mining Ponzi-scheme on steroids. I wondered, would this interview be my first exposé? Would my "gotcha" questions be too difficult for Robert to field? Listen to find out! *7/19/16 UPDATE: For the sake of being informative, the gains in my CoinCube-traded... Read More -
The Bitcoin Game #29: Bitcoin Journalist Brian Cohen
November 5th, 2015 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 29 of *The Bitcoin Game.* I'm Rob Mitchell. I first became acquainted with Bitcoin journalist [Brian Cohen](https://letstalkbitcoin.com/profile/user/bcohen) in mid-2014, as we were both active on the then-new *Let’s Talk Bitcoin* platform. I saw he was doing some fairly serious Bitcoin journalism. Soon after I launched this podcast, I reached out to Brian for an interview. It took a year for us to finally connect, but I finally spoke to the man who digs up a lot of... Read More -
The Bitcoin Game #30: The Biggest Blockchain Company You've Never Heard Of
November 19th, 2015 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 30 of *The Bitcoin Game.* I'm Rob Mitchell. What’s the oldest blockchain company you can think of? What if I told you a Blockchain company in Estonia called Guardtime was founded before the Bitcoin white paper was released? And what if I told you they are now a highly profitable company, doing large amounts of business with government, the world’s largest defense contractor, and a multinational communication technology company? I only found out about Guardtime... Read More -

December 19th, 2015 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 31 of *The Bitcoin Game.* I'm Rob Mitchell. I used to run into Valerian Bennett frequently at Los Angeles Bitcoin Meetups in 2014. I thought he’d disappeared from the Bitcoin scene, only to realize how wrong I was. Valerian has taken his experience in mainstream television production, and combined it with his passion for Bitcoin, to create several online Bitcoin video services, with his partner, payment channels developer James Poole. I hope you enjoy our discussio... Read More -

The Bitcoin Game #34: Bitcoin Core Dev Peter Todd
February 17th, 2016 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 34 of *The Bitcoin Game.* I'm Rob Mitchell, and my guest is Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd. Peter was really open in this interview, and we talked about everything from his relationship with Gavin Andresen, to mistakes he made in his early days working with Bitcoin Core, and a dozen topics in between. A lot of Peter’s focus was on explaining what he feels are the differences between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Classic, and why he believes Core is the path to follow... Read More -
The Bitcoin Game #33: Hacker J. Maurice
February 5th, 2016 by Rob Hello, welcome to episode 33 of *The Bitcoin Game.* I'm Rob Mitchell. J. Maurice is everything you’d expect in a [crypto-anarchist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-anarchism) hacker. When I had lunch with him before our interview, Maurice kept his phone powered off and explained he wouldn’t use a credit card, except maybe to pay for already-tracked air travel. After our meal, he used his [Trezor](https://www.bitcointrezor.com) to sign a Bitcoin payment on his laptop, via the cafe's W... Read More
