Mastering Bitcoin

I’m still in the office right now (wading through Excel models) and I’m late for a Christmas party. So by necessity today’s post is going to be a short one.

Below is a podcast from the Kevin Rose Show called “Bitcoin’s true potential”. It’s with Andreas M. Antonopoulos, who is the author of a number of books on the topic including: Mastering Bitcoin, The Internet of Money, and Mastering Ethereum.
