In this episode, I interview my good friend Mitchell Callahan who is involved in WordPress through his agency Saucal. Mitchell introduced me the practical side of Bitcoin last year.
“You never change something by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” – Buckminster Fuller
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.” ― Akira Kurosawa
Until I met Mitchell I only knew about Bitcoin in general terms. He persuaded me to set up a Bitcoin wallet and use it for an international funds transfer. I was very impressed and wrote about the experience on my blog. From there onwards I have kept close tabs on Bitcoin and have been reading up on things gradually to widen my knowledge on this very interesting subject and all the fields it affects (banking, governance, money, cryptography, states etc.).
I highly encourage you to check out our recommended resources below as well as listening to the episode till the very end of course (we also have a great giveaway from CyberChimps in this episode).

Not sure if it is too late for the giveaway as I am a little behind on my podcasts, but love the Bitcoin episode. I really wish I understood it better. I knew people who were mining back when it was easier and first got started, but just never got into it.
Keep up the great work!!
You’re still in time Joshua 🙂 Bitcoin is a very interesting subject with many other related topics one could get into. It’s really a rabbit hole that I’ve found myself going down in the past few weeks. Thanks for the feedback! – Jean
I am not that much into the bitcoin thing – as i find the idea intersting – yet still think i may just get more attantion in the next version of it.
Anyways, thanks for the infos!
Welcome!
