Joe Rogan Experience #446 – Andreas Antonopoulos

If there is one “must watch” interview on the topic, I would say it’s this one. Joe Rogan is rather new to bitcoin and asks Andreas Antonopoulos very common questions that most have when introduced to this magical internet money, called Bitcoin.

Andreas is a true Bitcoin guru that can take geeky information and make it easy to digest for even the most non-technical populus (the other 6 billion as he puts it).

Andreas Antonopoulos is a bitcoin entrepreneur, he also serves on the advisory boards of several bitcoin startups and serves as the Chief Security Officer of Blockchain.info.

Max Keiser talks about the Altcoin Quark with Bill Still

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss factory-farmed citizen consumers who live in mom’s basement, dragging the economy down with them. They also discuss the monoculture of housing bubbles and high interest rate loans in the workplace. In the second half, Max interviews Bill Still about his conversion to crypto-currencies and what role of the NSA spying scandal played in his decision.

Bitcoin Vs. Gold – How Bitcoin Could Take Over a Trillion $ Market

This is the 1st episode in our Big 5 blackboard series — where we look at five features (likely more in the future) where bitcoin’s inherent features could take over five different trillion dollar markets. The video starts with the misconception many people have with the idea of intrinsic value. It turns out that bitcoin is laden with amazing values, all ‘inherently’ intrinsic.

Keiser Report: Bitcoin Battle

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the bitcoin price plunge as Baidu ditches the crypto currency and China bans it for financial firms. Unnoticed at the same time, Germany declares bitcoin to be private money and Merrill Lynch claims it can replace money transfer systems like Western Union. In the second half, Max interviews Dr. Christos Vlachos, CFO of the University of Nicosia, which is now accepting bitcoin as payment and he explains how the volatility in the price won’t matter to the university. They also discuss Dr. Vlachos’ hope to turn Cyprus into a bitcoin hub.

Bitcoin – the future, or a bubble waiting to burst?

Bitcoin, the subversive virtual currency, is now recognised by the Fed. So what now? Digital currencies bypass government and with it, central banks, regulation and oversight. It’s the thing that makes them so attractive. But does this lack of control, and their volatility, mean currencies like Bitcoin can never replace dollars, pounds and yen?

Bitcoin will take you to outer space!

Billionaire entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson accepts bitcoin…and hopefully the moon one day!

I never want to hear the phrase, “well you can’t buy anything with bitcoin” – again.

With all the recent references that bitcoin is a “rocket” or it will go “to the moon”, this article couldn’t have come at a better time. It reads, “Billionaire entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson announced on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Friday that his commercial space flight venture will accept bitcoin as payment.”

He goes on to say his company is a bold technological company driving a revolution and bitcoin is doing the same.

Not only that, he already has a customer. BAM. Yeah I said it.
