As we go through life we collect stories that we will carry with us for our whole lives, they often are evidence of the trials we have survived, but it's how we tell the story of our past that makes the difference. In this episode Sarah Elkins and her guest Mike Coleman discuss the importance of our stories and sharing them in a way that will inspire others and give yourself peace. Highlights Find the cracks that let the light in. Tell your story in the way you want to tell it. Be international about the stories you share. Quotes “There are more important things than the next big story.” “It's incumbent upon us as storytellers to make a story interesting, and the cracks help do that and how we deal with them and how we survive them.” “How can you not be happy? How can you not accept the way you are? How do you get to the point where you can say ‘Yes, I wouldn't change this about me.' and I realized I have a lot of work to do to get to that point.” About Mike A professional writer for nearly 45 years, Mike Coleman won awards for news reporting and writing for nonprofit organizations and businesses in the technology industry. He went on to launch his own branding and content development firm, which served international technology companies for more than a decade. After retiring in 2020, he wrote THE WAY FROM ME TO US, a memoir about his nearly 50-year relationship with his husband. It's a story of a couple carving out a life for themselves against a backdrop of major cultural change in attitudes toward LGBTQ people. THE WAY FROM ME TO US is scheduled for release in fall 2022 from Riverdale Avenue Books, NYC. Connect with Mike on his LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook! Interested in Mike's book? Get it here! About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Show notes by Chinook Bromlie.
On Daily Faith, Mike Coleman is here to share another revelation on the word of God. Mike Coleman is a former Pastor, Biblical Archeologist, and Radio Host. His passion is discovering and revealing the backstories behind the Scriptures to understand better how it applies in the world. Today, Mike Coleman uncovered a deeper look at Mark 9:23-24 and connected the missing links between belief and unbelief. What we believe is not always what we see. Our belief is stored in our hearts. When we know God's word, we hide it within our hearts to use in times of trouble. We also have head knowledge about things stored in our minds, yet it can contradict what the heart says. Your mind is where the biggest battles of your faith begin. The word of God is not performance-based; it's promised-based. Trusting in God requires heart faith, yet deep down, you know God will do what He said because of His promises. We want to encourage you that no matter what storm of life you face, take time to search the word of God and find your promise to stand on; as you do, the storm will blow itself out, and you will become stronger in your faith! We can think the worst or know the best; what will you choose today? To learn more about Real Life Real Talk radio with Mike Coleman, visit www.realliferealtalk.com.

For over thirty years, we have saved countless lives from devastation and despair and brought hope to those in Eastern Europe. To the lack of support, poverty, and abuse, many families in Moldova send their loved ones to grow up in an orphanage. In the orphanages, they are shown the love of a caged animal. They age out of the system at age sixteen, are forced to the streets, and are subject to the lies of the human traffickers. Hopeless and alone, they begin to believe the lies. The Orphans Hands has a village of homes in Moldova called Vatra Village and a home formerly in Odessa, Ukraine. We take in these desperate children, provide, and share the love of Jesus. The power of God's love has destroyed the lies they once believed in their minds and revealed His love deep within their hearts. This revelation of God's goodness has enriched their faith walk to trust the Lord, no matter what they see. As the war rages in Ukraine, our kids are tirelessly giving back and ministering to the refugees. With your prayers and generous support, we have been able to send convoys of relief that help brings supplies to churches, providing food, blankets, and Bibles, offering hope for another day. Thank you. For more information about how you can bring hope amid darkness by supporting The Orphans Hands ministry, please visit www.theorhpanshands.org.

Taking it back to the ice with our usual checkup on the Buffalo Sabres….coaching changes in Montreal, Calgary and Buffalo, ESPN’s new deal with the NHL and of course, lots of shit to go over for our beloved Maple Leafs.

Welcome to episode 76 of The Bitcoin Game, sponsored by eToro. I'm Rob Mitchell. Today's interview is with Andrew Tierney, otherwise known online as Cybergibbons. Andrew hacks everything from oil rigs at his day job, to Cryptocurrency hardware wallets and smart locks in his free time. We conducted this interview a bit before COVID-19 had taken over the planet, back in the good old days (a few weeks ago), when we were more worried about malware than going to the grocery store without an N95 mask. Andrew and I discuss hacking hardware wallets, general security, IoT devices, home routers, his day job as a hacker for hire, and other stuff too. I hope you enjoy!

Welcome to episode 75 of The Bitcoin Game, sponsored by eToro. I'm Rob Mitchell. I started podcasting in late 2014, and one of the greatest things to happen in those early episodes was landing an exclusive longform interview with Dr. Jochen "Johoe" Hoenicke, the 2014 Bitcoin Hero. Badass white hat Bitcoin hacker Johoe (at least that's what I call him) rescued insecure Bitcoin UTXOs from Blockchain.info wallets before they could be taken by less-scrupulous hackers. This was after his contributions to understanding the RNG issues with Android Bitcoin wallets in 2013. He also rescued insecure Bitcoin from one other platform, which he admits for the first time in this interview. Some months after this interview, Johoe responsibly published a side-channel attack on a TREZOR, which eventually led to Satoshi Labs hiring him as a TREZOR Cryptographer. Johoe's Bitcoin mempool stats site is yet another contribution he's made to the space. This is the only audio (or video) interview with Johoe that I'm aware of, and it's worth a listen if you didn't catch it the first time. It's even educational, as Johoe explains concepts like how Bitcoin signatures work and what specifically went wrong with various wallets, in a way that's accessible for non-technical people like myself. Hope you enjoy my first "rebroadcast" to celebrate 75!

Welcome to episode 74 of The Bitcoin Game, sponsored by eToro. The Bitcoin Game has been a featured podcast on the LTB Network since 2014! A few facts about David Jevans: In the late '90s, David attended monthly Cypherpunk meetups in Palo Alto. David hired Nick Szabo to help with IronKey (David's previous business, a secure USB product). And David is currently the founder and CEO of CipherTrace, one of the big three "blockchain analysis" companies. David's past and present positions give him a uniquely informed perspective, and I was fascinated to hear his takes. We discuss a wide range of topics, from details about CipherTrace's work, to hardware wallets, supply-chain security, CryptoCapital, Quadriga, BTC-E, CoinJoin, OPSEC, and tons more.

Welcome to episode 73 of The Bitcoin Game, sponsored by eToro. When I started paying attention to Bitcoin Twitter in 2013, I noticed a guy named Tim Pastoor, who seemed pretty well-respected by the Bitcoin Twitter community. He and I eventually became good friends on Twitter, so much so that we hung out for a long afternoon when I visited Amsterdam a few years ago. Tim has been focused on peer-to-peer identity and reputation systems for the past five years, supporting Martti Malmi's work in the space (Martti was the first coder to work with Satoshi on Bitcoin). Twitter's Jack Dorsey recently garnered a ton of attention promoting the goal of decentralized social media, and P2P identity may well be the base layer for such projects. Hope you enjoy our talk! Oh, and a correction Tim gave me after our interview - Microsoft's Distributed ID project is now called Ion.

"I didn't have time to feel sorry for myself. I had a family that needed me." --Mike Coleman We got the opportunity to sit down with Mike Coleman. Mike at the young age of 40 was devastated when doctors told him he was suffering from heart failure and would need a transplant. Instead of pissing and moaning, Mike has fought and keeps fighting for a better tomorrow. A truly inspiring tale that everyone should hear. It's a true testament to what having a positive attitude can do for you in a time when it's hard to see the light. -Justin --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stosh&stolls/support

Welcome to episode 71 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. I met Brian Lockhart while having lunch at Bitcoin 2019 this summer. Brian recently joined the team at Casa, which happened to have just released details on the Node 2. So this seemed like the perfect time to have Brian as a guest. I learned a lot from Brian, including how Bitcoin got on his radar (hint: it's the tech), his five-year Bitcoin Rip Van Winkle experience, and the Casa Node 2. We even review some recently highlighted security trade-offs with the Node, as well as my own case of Lightning fever.

Pastor Mike Coleman lays out the Vision plan for Church Alive Orlando in the upcoming year, called Vision 2020. Enjoy!
DADDY, WHAT DID YOU DO DURING THE WAR???A look back at the most divisive period in our game's history. Rob is joined by author Mike Coleman, author of the book, Super League - The Inside Story. The story starts before a player cheque was even signed, with the commissioning of the Bradley Report.On one side there was Super League, backed by Rupert Murdoch and News Corporation. On the other was the ARL, headed by Ken Arthurson supported by Kerry Packer and Optus Vision. At stake was the bounty of broadcasting rights and supremacy in the sport.Super League had attracted several existing clubs, and introduced two new clubs. The ARL fought to keep the remaining teams loyal, with threats of court cases and the promise for a share in the spoils.When the ARL tried to block the new league, Super League, headed by John Ribot ran one season parallel to the ARL's in 1997.At the conclusion of that season a peace deal was reached and the two leagues united to form the National Rugby League.But what price peace? Hundreds of millions of dollars ripped up, friendships destroyed and a cynical fan base that would take a long time to win back over.

Part 1 of He is my Refuge by Pastor Mike Coleman recorded on 9.8.2019 at Church Alive Orlando. www.churchaliveorlando.com
1971 comes into razor sharp focus with Captain Beefheart's follow up to his magnum opus “Trout mask Replica." The songs are intensely strange, but focus on both human ecological concerns and Don's love of "yams" that "yawn and yearn." It is a crazy, crazy ride, an album that's just as wild as the day it hatched, and one that will have you laughing and scratching your chin simultaneously.

What’s soccer without supporters? Very little, if you ask us. That’s why, on the eve of the 2017 MLS season, the ExtraTime crew reached out to five folks with skin the game to help preview what’s to come on the field and in the stands. First up, expansion check-ins with Minnesota United FC and Atlanta United. Bruce McGuire calls in from the Twin Cities to provide some much-needed insight into the culture of the club and its supporters, then Terminus Legion Outreach Coordinator Andrea Bustamante explains what it’s like to start from scratch and what will make Atlanta a unique market in MLS. After the break, Ruckus president Jerry Updike is jacked about Orlando City’s new stadium and literal wall of support as well as a new opportunity to grow the purple army that’s followed the club from USL to MLS. Mike Coleman knows a thing or two about armies. Coleman leads tifo creation and execution for the Timbers Army, and he shares some tricks of the trade (without giving anything away!) for those who admire or might try to replicate what they see at Providence Park. Last but certainly not least, MLS original and New York Red Bulls supporter/reporter Mark Fishkin shares the ups and downs that come with being there from the very beginning!

Hello, welcome to episode 23 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. I decided to experiment with buying Bitcoin a new way; I bought shares of the Bitcoin Investment Trust. The trust is the first, and I believe the only current way a U.S. citizen can add an investment in Bitcoin to a recognized retirement account. You can buy shares of the Bitcoin Investment Trust with symbol GBTC using a standard brokerage account, just like buying a stock or ETF. You could argue that one doesn't actually own Bitcoin with these shares, since a third party holds the private keys, and there are inherent risks — just ask Patrick Byrne. But the fund, and this episode, are likely skewed slightly towards people interested in investing in Bitcoin for the long term, using an investing platform they are already familiar with, while shielding themselves from the learning curve still required to hold Bitcoin securely. In today's episode I speak with Michael Sonnenshein, director of Sales & Business Development for Grayscale, one of several companies founded by Barry Silbert. Based on Grayscale's first quarter financials, the total number of Bitcoin Investment Trust shares sold was approximately 1.41 million, which has a value of over $37 million dollars (at the current rate of $265/Bitcoin). Potential fund buyers need to make sure they understand the risks associated with Bitcoin, investing in Bitcoin using a fund, as well as the fees and premiums that are associated with buying this fund. Would you ever buy shares of the Bitcoin Investment Trust, or recommend it? Please let me know your thoughts by commenting below! 7/19/16 Update: For anyone who bought GBTC (Bitcoin Investment Trust) back when this episode aired, the gains have substantially surpassed a 100% investment in Bitcoin. I will go on a limb and say this is because the demand for GBTC has been a lot greater than the supply (probably due to mainstream and retirement investors wanting Bitcoin exposure). So the market price of GBTC is way above the net asset value of the Bitcoin that the trust holds. With two new Bitcoin ETFs expected in coming months/years, it's possible that new Bitcoin investment vehicles will cool off the demand for GBTC, so I'm not sure if buying GBTC on the open market is wise at current values. However, if you're a "qualified investor" who is up for a large initial investment and year waiting period, you can buy GBTC at par with the current price of Bitcoin, so that may be a smarter investment (if you believe in Bitcoin, and don't think we'll have a financial/societal "reset" before then). Of course, anything could happen to Bitcoin and/or GBTC. And be very aware, I'm definitely not an investment advisor, this is just my amateur read of the situation.

Hello, welcome to episode 22 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. In today's podcast you'll hear the Blockchain Tech panel from the State Of Digital Money conference, which took place earlier this year in Los Angeles. I thought it was a very fun panel that was filled with many insights. You might say the panel was stacked a bit on the side of blockchain tech over Bitcoin, and Bitcoin maximalists (amongst others) may not agree with some of the points made. But hopefully everyone can still appreciate hearing ideas and discussion from very bright people in the field. Some interesting tidbits: It's Jeff Garzik you'll hear yell “not true” from his seat in the audience, and Connie Gallippi also speaks from the crowd. I was surprised to learn the source of inspiration for Medici (the blockchain-based stock exchange being pioneered by Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne). On the panel, you'll hear (in order of appearance): Moderator: Alex Rozman Senior Manager in the Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics LLP @rozman7 Craig Sellars Co-Founder and CTO for Tether @Tether_to Eric Benz VP of Payments at BitReserve @EricBenz84 Judd Bagley Director of Communications at Overstock.com @WriterJudd Alyse Killeen Associate Venture Capital Investor at March Capital Partners @AlyseKilleen MAGIC WORD Listen for the magic word, and submit it to your LetsTalkBitcoin.com account to claim a share of this week's distribution of LTBcoin.

Welcome to episode 16 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. I was excited to talk to Bruce Fenton at the recent Texas Bitcoin Conference. It was a fun conversation, and I think it gives a good sense of Bruce as a person. He answered my questions about the exclusive Satoshi Roundtable Bitcoin retreat he organized, and filled me in about his impressive background in financial management. Our interview concluded with passionate exposition by Bruce. Note that we spoke before Bruce was voted in by the Bitcoin Foundation Board as their new Executive Director. I also spoke with Scott Rose, who I was familiar with from his popular comedic video series, "Shit Bitcoin Fanatics Say." Scott's background as an actor and a hired speaker for Apple, combined with his passion for Bitcoin, makes him a great cryptocurrency proponent. This is demonstrated in his recent Austin Nerd Night presentation called "Bitcoin 101: What Happens When We Decentralize Money?". I often think Bitcoin needs better P.R., and Scott did his part with this presentation. If you wonder why you hear traffic in the background, most of my interviews from this conference took place in the patio area outside of the Moody Theater. This is where the exhibiter's booths were located, and also where most people congregated when they weren't watching presentations. Thanks to Christian Burns (https://twitter.com/ChristianBurns) for the photo taken while I was interviewing Bruce Fenton.

Welcome to episode 15 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. While I usually try to be extremely professional on my podcast, this episode from the Friday night Kickoff Party for the Texas Bitcoin Conference may expose a slightly different side of me. I went straight from Austin–Bergstrom International Airport to Maria's Taco Express, where the party was held. I arrived to the sound of live music and a large patio area completely packed with Bitcoiners. I made my way through the crowd and checked in with the very nice Linda Snow. She handed me drink tickets and offered to keep an eye on my bags, which I appreciated. I went to the outdoor bar and ordered a beer and a shot of tequila. Hey, this was a party, and I was ready to have fun! But because only drinks were available at the outdoor register, and I was in a hurry to join the party, I skipped going inside to order food. I didn't think about how long it had been since I had eaten, or how much an empty stomach might intensify the effects of the alcohol I was consuming. Lesson learned! Before I knew it, I had my phone out and I started interviewing every friendly face I bumped into. That ended up being a team from A.I. Coin, Texas-based Sheldon Weisfeld from CoinVault ATM, the Swiss-based team behind ShapeShift, and finally I spoke with Joey Krug from Augur. It was quite a lot of fun! I hope you'll tune in for upcoming episodes of The Bitcoin Game that will include interviews with Bruce Fenton, Erik Vorhees, Shawn Wilkinson, John Bush, Scott Rose, and many many more. Don't worry, the rest of my interviews were executed in a totally sober state, and with first-rate sound quality. Though I may have felt some intoxication from being around so many impressive Bitcoiners!

Welcome to episode 14 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. I recently attended the Texas Bitcoin Conference, and had an amazing time. I got to meet fellow LTB podcasters John Barrett and John Bush, people I listened to well before I started this podcast. I also got to meet some Bitcoin heroes of mine, as well as listeners to this show. To kick off my content from the conference, I bring you this informative but somewhat scary talk about Cryptocurrency Regulation, delivered by the very knowledgeable Carol Van Cleef. The presentation is followed by a panel discussion, and ends with questions from the audience. Cryptocurrency Regulation Panel Carol Van Cleef, Partner, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP Joel Aud, Texas Department of Public Safety, Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence Division Timothy L.

Welcome to episode 13 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. For today's episode I spoke with Steven Sprague, an expert in an under-utilized technology called the Trusted Execution Environment that exists in chips inside many of our devices. Steven leveraged his extensive knowledge in this field to launch Rivetz, a company dedicated to bringing personal security to Bitcoin transactions, and more. The capabilities of this technology give me hope that there will soon be a migration past the current broken security paradigm. And perhaps Bitcoin's need for ultimate security will be a catalyst to expand the use of this technology.

Welcome to episode 11 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. It's great to live in a big city such as Los Angeles because of the opportunity to network with people doing amazing things in the Bitcoin space. While Paul Puey founded Airbitz from San Diego, he still has managed to attend enough Los Angeles Bitcoin meetups that he seems like a local. In January of this year, Airbitz was selected by Plug and Play to take part in their Startup Camp Accelerator in Silicon Valley. Paul still had no problem trekking back to another Los Angeles Bitcoin Meetup, this time to present a compelling view of Bitcoin's place in the future of mobile payments. Paul also talks about the Airbitz mobile wallet, an app for Android and iOS that is aimed squarely at making Bitcoin as easy to use for mobile payments as possible.

Welcome to episode 10 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. I wanted to really have fun and celebrate this 10th episode. I never knew if I'd be able to get ten episodes out, so this is quite an achievement for me. With that in mind, I decided to focus on something the entire cryptocurrency community loves to talk about… Taxes! While cryptocurrency taxes may not be a favorite topic, I actually had a lot more fun than I expected, speaking to Jake Benson, CEO and founder of LibraTax. This was my opportunity to ask every tax accounting question I could think of related to cryptocurrency. I also spent a little time with LibraTax, and I wasn't convinced it had the features I needed. But after getting some tips from Jake on hidden capabilities and techniques, I think I'll be using LibraTax to help with my accounting this year. So if you think you might want to give LibraTax a spin, listen to the entire episode, and you'll get some specific tips towards the end. While Jake certainly seems like a tax expert to me, please do not use this podcast for personal tax advice. Consult with a tax professional, or do your own research to make sure you file your taxes correctly. There certainly are gray areas when it comes to tax regulation, especially with new financial technologies. So there's often an aggressive and a conservative approach that can be taken. I apologize that the content discussed in this episode may not be of any bearing to some listeners. I didn't bury the magic word too deep this time, so give the episode a chance, and maybe you'll find the discussion is more interesting than you expect. Or maybe not. I'll be attending the Texas Bitcoin Conference in March (not April), please say "hi" to me if you'll be there too.

Welcome to The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. In December of 2014, I went to visit Gray Bright, an Australian currently living in Los Angeles. He's been a maker all his life, and he graduated with an advanced degree in Robotic and Mechatronic Engineering. Gray has notable experience in product development, but what he enjoys making most are hardware / software creations that simply make him smile. Gray is also involved at mixing entertainment and comedy with tech and science. He shares two of his Bitcoin-related creations, and we chat about other cryptocurrency subjects.

Welcome to The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. This episode's page on Let's Talk Bitcoin is: https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/the-bitcoin-game-8-danno-ferrin-bitstamp-visualization Danno Ferrin's current day job is working on Java for the Oracle Corporation. But for fun, Danno uses his programming skills to create visualization software for the BItcoin blockchain. In the wake of the large Bitstamp theft, Danno has been able to analyze some of the Bitcoin movements, using his software. Danno might be one of the most knowledgeable people about the loss, other than insiders like Bitstamp employees and the actual hacker (I have not been able to secure an interview with these parties). He speculates on what happened, and we also discuss a few other topics. I hope you enjoy this interview with Danno Ferrin. January 20, 2015 Update: Danno has seen more transactions since this postcast was released, check out his blog for the most recent observations and analyses. http://blog.cryptocrumb.com/2015/01/bitstamp-theft-two-weeks-later.html alt text Magic Word Listen for the magic word, and submit it to your LetsTalkBitcoin.com account to claim a share of this week's distribution of LTBcoin.

Welcome to episode #7 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. The white hat hacker known as Johoe ("Yo-ho") rescued over 870 Bitcoins recently from addresses compromised by a temporary bug in Blockchain.info's web wallet. Today I'm honored to introduce Jochen ("Yo-hen"), who works as a computer science researcher at a university in Germany, and is known on BitcoinTalk.org as Johoe. Bitcoin is a hobby Jochen took up in early 2013, as he first discovered the repeated R value issue, due to a 2013 bug in Android's random number generator that affected the security of some Bitcoin wallet apps. Jochen has literally raced against other hackers to grab Bitcoin in compromised addresses, knowing his opponents have no intention of returning any Bitcoin they grab first. Aside from this being the first audio interview of Jochen aka Johoe, this is also the first time he tells the Bitcoin world that it was he who returned 17 Bitcoins to Counterparty, after their Counterwallet had a temporary bug earlier this year that also produced repeating R values. Jochen talks about a call he recently received from Coinbase, as well as the trade-offs of Coinbase vs. Blockchain.info wallets.

Hello, welcome to The Bitcoin Game #6. I'm your host, Rob Mitchell. I spoke to Adam B. Levine a few weeks ago. We talked about his original Bitcoin podcast, The Daily Bitcoin, and why it morphed into Let's Talk Bitcoin, with Andreas Antonopoulos and Stephanie Murphy. In this interview, I found out how insanely early Adam wakes up each day, his takes on crypto crowd-funding platforms, as well as some of his grave concerns about potential U.S. governmental actions against crypto-projects that have benefitted from crowd-funding. Adam talked a bit about Tokenly, his newest entrepreneurial venture, while also letting me know about his newest technological passion (our conversation left me wondering if Adam might ever consider leaving the Bitcoin space for a fertile technology space that isn't being threatened by any governments). And as a fairly new podcaster on Adam's network, I got to ask Adam questions about my position, and the Let's Talk Bitcoin network in general. If you're a fan of Adam B. Levine, I think this will be an interesting show for you. Listen for the magic word, and submit it to your LetsTalkBitcoin.com account to claim your share of the weekly distribution of LTBcoin.

Welcome to episode five of The Bitcoin Game. I'm your host, Rob Mitchell. In this episode I present an uncut "fireside chat" between Bitcoin Foundation board member and longtime digital currency entrepreneur Brock Pierce, and Gem CEO/founder Micah Winkelspecht. Their conversation is followed by an audience Q&A (apologies for the sound quality of the audience questions). This was a Los Angeles Bitcoin Meetup event held at the beautiful new Gem headquarters in Venice Beach, California, on November 13, 2014. Andreas Antonopoulos had been scheduled to speak that evening, but his flight from the East Coast was canceled, and as hard as he tried (including piloting a Cessna to a nearby airport), he was unable to make it. Fortunately, both Brock and Micah are amazing and knowledgeable Bitcoin speakers, so I believe everyone who attended felt extremely satisfied. There were too many topics covered to list, but below are relevant links from the discussion.
