Title: Taking questions for Stephen Macaskill! (Amagi Metals CEO)
Post by: tim-tams on December 05, 2014, 06:45:28 AM
Hey guys! I'm scheduled to interview Stephen Macaskill, the CEO of Amagi Metals (http://amagimetals.com/), later today. It won't be a super long chat, but I'm hoping to make room for one or two questions from the community. Anyone got a question they want him to answer?

I've got one.

Amagi Metals is set to stop taking USD payments by more or less 2017, right? What steps is the company taking to prevent being put at a loss because of Bitcoin's volatile price swings?

Great question! We'll definitely be asking about their 2017 plans.

Still looking for ideas!

Going to have to promote this question.


Also is do they have a plan to have a silver or copper "bitcoin" oz?  Just the symbol of BTC on it not a public/private address.

I'll ask him about it before we start recording and if it's a serious problem (i.e. they got raided by the FBI or something haha), we'll definitely cover it on the show.

I, if I were amagimetals (the CEO or something) would convert the Btc immediately into fiat. This is bad though so hopefully they keep it in btc form.

Their domain whois information changed in the past day or two, might be changing providers (and had an issue), but that's just a guess. Having just placed my first order with them, I'm obviously a little nervous now though as a result.

Will this be uploaded to their youtube channel?

Will they have any more "ask megan" youtube videos?
