The Bitcoin Game #48: Digging Deeper (Part One) – Ryan X. Charles

Hello, welcome to episode 48 of The bitcoin Game, I’m Rob Mitchell.

In episode 47 you heard the bitcoin Scaling panel I moderated at the State Of Digital Money in Los Angeles. While I loved being part of that panel, I really didn?’?t get to ask many questions. The time allotted to that panel went by so quickly that I really wanted more! So, I was able to arrange interviews with Ryan X. Charles and Eric Lombrozo to dig a bit deeper into some issues around scaling and bitcoin forks. In this episode I talk to Ryan; you?’?ll hear Eric in episode 49.

UPDATE: Things move fast in bitcoin! Five days after this interview, Ryan announced Yours will be moving to bitcoin Cash: https://twitter.com/ryanxcharles/status/900083785726910465

While much of a Bitcoiner’s time is spent in the world of digital assets, sometimes it’s nice to own a physical representation of the virtual things you care about. For just the price of a cup of coffee or two (at Starbucks), you can own your own Bitcoin Keychain or the newer Bitcoin Fork Pen.
