Episode Description
Need to understand more about Bitcoin?
Meet Mitch Eccles, a man on a mission to cut through the jargon and help us mere mortals understand it. Even for technical people, understanding cryptocurrencies can be a headache. Mitch will make this daunting process easy by guiding and teaching you so you gain confidence in using cryptocurrencies.
He has years of experience and a deep understanding of Bitcoin and how it works. Listen up to hear how it works, and I promise we cut the jargon and also dig into the murky depths of the Bitcoin conspiracy theories. Bitcoin is breaking the requirement for fiat currencies and democratising financial transactions.
We discuss, amongst many other things, how Bitcoin can empower women in Saudi Arabia, how it helped Venezuelans protect their money from hyperinflation, how to start buying Bitcoins, and how Mitch almost missed out on Bitcoin in the early days.
The YouTube video he mentions as a good primer on how the economy works is found at https://youtu.be/PHe0bXAIuk0
