Fireside Chats, Episode 28: The Cryptocurrency Movement
Added 2018-03-13 16:00:01 +0000 UTCThe buzz around cryptocurrency is growing louder with each passing day, which is incredible since the buzz has been audible for awhile now. But it's a confusing and unusual world, one I don't quite understand. So I invited Reilly Smith onto the show to explain his craft to me. Mr. Smith works for LBRY, a crypto company with an interesting directive. I think you'll learn a lot listening to this episode of Fireside Chats. I sure did.

2018-03-16 17:27:47 +0000 UTCGreatly informative and entertaining episode! It was cool hearing your guest using the network topology layers termonology to describe the cryptocurrency technology. Also, the email analogy is very apt-- I remember the chaos of upper and lower case letters in email addresses. :)

2018-03-15 20:28:36 +0000 UTCI had so much more clarity after I recorded than before, and even then, I'm confused.

2018-03-14 22:39:37 +0000 UTCI'm not too proud to admit that I can't wrap my head around any of this.
Jeff Pollard
2018-03-14 22:32:00 +0000 UTCThis is what scares me. I guess I can afford to take a risk, but I dunno. Still trying to get comfortable with the whole idea.

2018-03-14 19:10:04 +0000 UTCGodspeed! I hope you enjoy.

2018-03-14 19:09:34 +0000 UTCI think it's the Blockchain -- and not necessarily Bitcoin itself -- that people really need to start understanding. Because that's the secret ingredient.
Colin Moriarty
2018-03-14 19:09:23 +0000 UTCAll I can say is that I certainly understand things a lot better now than I did a few weeks ago!

2018-03-14 19:03:52 +0000 UTCHitting the play button right now, going in knowing nearly nothing of what cryptocurrency actually is or how it works. Can't wait.

2018-03-14 16:57:28 +0000 UTCI think a common misconception is that it is confusing to start and/or that it takes a substantial initial investment to start. As someone who just invested for the first time yesterday due to this podcast, I was astonished to discover that Coinbase is as easy to sign up for and start using as any modern web site and that you can make a very small investment. I always assumed that one was required to purchase whole bitcoins meaning that the initial investment required would be around $10k. But I discovered you can buy fractions of a bitcoin meaning if you want to just dip your toe in to see how it works you could purchase $100 or even $10 worth of bitcoin. Quite a small barrier to entry if you just want to check it out and see if it's something that would interest you further.

2018-03-14 16:40:25 +0000 UTCSomeone I know very well just got into bitcoin - on a small scale - recently. Itβs a lot daunting to me. Actually, it scares me to death because I truly donβt understand it. This helped to begin to explain things. Reilly seems to know what heβs talking about. But, like you, Col, Iβm not a gambler. I like to know where my money lies. If this is the wave of the future, I better start wrapping my head around it. π€π¬

2018-03-14 15:09:59 +0000 UTCIt's a bird! No, it's a plane! No, it's... cryptocurrency! Hahahahaha! Hur? I don't think I understood half of the discussion in this episode...but at least I'm getting excited.

2018-03-14 08:35:04 +0000 UTCThank you! Yeah, I have much to learn about all of this. Need to continue to wrap my head around all of it.
Colin Moriarty
2018-03-13 18:52:56 +0000 UTCThank you! I'm attempted to make a purchase, too, but I need a little more time to think about it. =) Glad the show resonated!

2018-03-13 18:52:38 +0000 UTCGreat episode. I would greatly encourage downloading coinbase app on your phone. I have been using it for a bit now. (bought LTC at 130). It really is easy to use.

2018-03-13 18:21:31 +0000 UTCWhen I first saw this episode I thought, "Oh no, another person trying to get me to invest in cryptocurrency." But your discussion with Reilly made cryptocurrency sound enticing for the first time. I found the discussion fascinating and even paused the episode halfway through to make my first cryptocurrency purchase. Whether I lose the money, or it turns into millions of dollars decades from now, thanks for a great episode! :)
