This is episode 192 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast.
Harvey wrecked Houston. Irma wrecked Florida. Bad stuff happens. But at the same time, it seems there are plenty of people that try to do good.
Some Bitcoiners recently rallied to raise money for hurricane victims. Lots of money was (and is still) raised to help free Ross Ulbricht. Many people recently donated a nice chunk of change to support a hot dog vendor who was harassed by cops.
So which is it? Are people good or evil? Is the world good or evil? Happy or sad? It's about time time we addressed these age old questions on the show.
Also tonight: We have to cover the Bitcoin rant from JPMorgan's CEO. Apparently his daughter bought some coin. Then he called it a fraud and said it would "be closed" soon. Then it crashed. Oh, and he's repeatedly attempted to file blockchain-related patents. What's up with that?
This is NOT an episode you can miss. Catch the livestream tonight at 9PM Eastern and check the list below for some of the specific stories we'll cover!
