Let's Talk Bitcoin! #262 - Classic Episode: Tree Chains with Peter Todd
November 10th, 2015 by
adam ##On Episode 262... Hey folks, i'm still working on those conference episodes so on today's episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin, we're going back in time for a classic episode and one of my all time favorites. We'll spend most of today's show with Andreas, Stephanie and Peter Todd during one of our rare in-person recordings, talking about Peter's revolutionary Tree Chains concept: What it is, why solo mining is worth saving and how it could change how Bitcoin works for the better. This is also the episode where I explained Tokens from the ground up for the first time. six months before Tokenly was founded I was focused on helping projects like MyPowers and Swarm deliver token solutions to the world of crowdfunding. Eighteen months later, Tokenly is now fixated on providing token solutions to Crowdfunding platforms except this time instead of building a new crowdfunding platform, we're able to provide all of the possibilities to campaigns and platforms wherever they are. This episode is the original 2014 edit. Read More -

Aren't we likely to see MILLIONS of blockchains in the future? Read More -
