Boy, it’s discussions like this one that really make my job a lot of fun because on today’s show, we have a total force in the Bitcoin movement to talk to us about the legal implications and potential government intervention into all things digital currency-related.

Caitlin Long is a graduate of Harvard Law School. She spent 22 years on Wall Street. She started three successful businesses in pension and insurance. She’s been the chairwoman and president of the enterprise blockchain company, Symbiont, which was named Fintech Company of the Year in 2017, and today, she’s the gubernatorial appointee to lead the Wyoming Blockchain Task Force.

If you’ve ever wondered about the legal risks associated with Bitcoin and how everything is going to play out moving forward, you’ll definitely want to listen to this conversation, and you might even want to share it with some of your friends. Without further delay, here’s the one and only Caitlin Long.
