On today’s show, we’re talking about a very intriguing topic which is Bitcoin. Now we’ve covered this topic many times on the show. In fact, the first time we covered Bitcoin here in The Investor’s podcast, the price was in the $200 range.
Today it’s about $8,000. Although this fascinating topic has some of the most volatile price movements in any financial market, it doesn’t seem to die or go away. What in the world is going on with Bitcoin? What is it?
On today’s show, we talked to one of the most reputable and well-known Bitcoin influencers, Mr. Tuur Demeester. When we talk to Tuur, we’re not covering advanced crypto topics. Instead, we’re going to talk about the reason the Bitcoin community believes in this movement so strongly. How some of the technology works, and what it’s trying to achieve.
In short, this is our coverage of Bitcoin 101. If you’ve ever tried to understand the why behind this movement, Tuur is one of the best people you could ever listen to. Without further delay, here’s our coverage of Bitcoin basics.
