Josh and Mike step away from the more traditional Bitcoin conversation and take a stroll into the abstract -- it's always amazing the places Bitcoin will take you. Note: Josh is hiding in an undisclosed bunker this week so his audio quality is less than ideal.
Topics discussed --
Class action lawsuit against Ripple
Cryptokitties crucial to crypto adoption
Blockstack, identity and decentralized applications
George Gilder’s theory of entropy as the key to creativity and knowledge
