Bitcoins and Gravy: Episode #45 Commissioner Gonzales & Bitcoin Regulations

On today’s show I stay right here in Nashville where I am privileged to be speaking with Tennessee’s top banking official, Commissioner Greg Gonzales. Commissioner Gonzales is the man responsible for overseeing the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions. Commissioner Gonzales talks to us about how he is working to bring state legislators together, with payment experts and users, to examine the “Opportunities and potential risks” tied to new currencies . . . including of course everyone’s favorite new currency and protocol . . .
