PODCAST: What You Should Know About Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrencies
“This technology and it's impact on society as a whole is as big as
the advent of the Internet, finance, agriculture and all other
industries. In terms of what it's going to do for humanity, it is up
to you as a business owner or somebody who's interested in seeking
knowledge to know what it is you're dealing with, why it's exciting
and some things that could be potentially detrimental to people if it
just falls into the wrong hands.”

Nice to see you posting again Michael.
I really enjoyed this interview Michael!
Love your casual attitude and knowledgeable responses.
Great work +5%
nice information.
it's useful.
Thanks for sharing
Michael, you provide great information here. Thank you!
this technology is about the change the world as we know it! great value in this article. thanks
That format is so cool, if you could have the audio/video linked and an interactive transcript would be even better. I'm doing it now for our #whaletank projects, using YouTube to get like 95% accuracy of what is being said (depending on accent and mic of course) and it's working great.
Haha if you use Typora you can copy and paste markdown. So it'll be a lot easier to repost this on Steem. It will copy formatting like bullet points and such and I was about to suggest to do just that.
"detrimental to people if it
just falls into the wrong hands.”
yes this has been a worry on my mind (especially of late with govs creating their own crypto). it's like a battle between the people and the 1%... we know if the people win it's ultimate financial freedom and prosperity for all however if the 1% win they will have more control of humanity and financial system then ever before! 🤼
@michaelx This was a really fun interview, and so was our other! This interview was a perfect way to initially learn about Bitcoin and the blockchain. Since doing this interview, I've been pretty much addicted to cryptos and the technology. Now I'm here :-)
Awesome @MichaelX! Thanks for spreading the word about this episode! The part 2 episode actually just went live today! Let me know if you share it with people over here on Steem as well so I can be sure to upvote that as well.
Loved doing the call and I know there's a round 3 in the works eventually! We want to talk more about creating our own tokens. Limitless potential for things to discuss!
