Podcasts about blockchain are challenging

Due to advances in technology and the rise of centralized systems that limit privacy, the very nature of how we think about money and the government’s role in it is evolving. The clearest manifestation of this is the rise of cryptocurrencies, of which bitcoin is the most prominent. In today's conversation, we go back 5,000 years to explore the beginning of money and then trace how the way we think about money and how we distribute money has evolved over time. Along the way, we touch on gold, central banking, Modern Monetary Theory and yes, bitcoin. It’s a wild ride! My objective in this episode is to give you some historical context that has led to the development of bitcoin and how it is being used today so you can speak more confidently to your clients when they ask about it. My guest to discuss all this is Michael Casey. Michael is a true pathfinder. He spent over three decades in journalism including 18 years with Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal. He's been in business and academia, and he has a real grasp on the big technological, geopolitical, economic, and social trends that impact businesses, communities and individuals. Currently, he’s the chief content officer at CoinDesk. In addition, he's the author of five highly acclaimed books including: "The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything" "The Social Organism: A Radical Understanding of Social Media to Transform Your Business and Life" "The Age of Cryptocurrency: How Bitcoin and the Blockchain Are Challenging the Global Economic Order"

Bloomberg Opinion columnist Barry Ritholtz interviews Paul Vigna, a Wall Street Journal reporter who covers the cryptocurrency sector. His most recent book, co-authored with Michael J. Casey, is "The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything." He and Casey also co-authored 2015's "The Age of Cryptocurrency: How Bitcoin and the Blockchain Are Challenging the Global Economic Order."

We planned to be off for the holidays, but we couldn't resist. Too much excitement this week. Enjoy. We are witnessing one of the largest price declines in the history of Bitcoin, but worry not, 2018 is just around the corner and this technology is just getting started. Josh and Mike discuss why Coinbase sucks, fees to move Bitcoin are not a big deal, and learn that 18 year olds are in love with Bitcoin. Also, Mike shares his ideas on the future of autonomous vehicles and real estate in a digital tokenized world. A lot of good stuff this week. Happy Holidays!
