You, Me, and BTC Your Liberty & Bitcoin Podcast

Bitcoin is a revolutionary technology as the world's first completely decentralized peer-to-peer payment network. As millions of people around the world pour billions of dollars into Bitcoin, everyone from rural subsistence farmers to swamp-dwelling policymakers increasingly take note.

While Bitcoin matures, hordes of pundits, bloggers, and journalists perpetually reference a "Bitcoin community" responsible for the challenges, changes and successes of Bitcoin.

This is episode 207 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast.

Whether you like it or not, CryptoKitties took over the internet this weekend. And the collectible cats didn't just dominate social media. They literally took over the Ethereum blockchain, filling up the blocks and causing a spike in transaction fees.

With each new all-time high comes an increasing number of people with hot takes on the best time to buy Bitcoin, and even more people eager to listen.

But they're all wrong. We guarantee it.

This is episode 204 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast. We know it's not Thursday, but we're making up for the episode we skipped on Thanksgiving.

This is episode 203 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast.

We love to see Bitcoin's price spike, but that's not the only thing that matters in Bitcoin. As one of our more principled hosts, Tim Baker is here today to explain why Bitcoin is amazing regardless of its current dollar value. It sets people free and for that, we'd pay anything.

Then later in the show, Tim will share some …

This article is the fourth in a series about the most absurd Initial Coin Offerings. Read the previous article here.

For millennia, the moon has appeared throughout the legends, traditions, religions, and art of humankind. From the Neolithic people of the British Isles to Leonardo da Vinci to Neil Armstrong, Earth's nightlight fascinates prehistoric, Renaissance, and modern humans alike.
