I'm glad that Erik will be on but bummed that Peter won't be there as he hasn't yet "seen the light" and Erik has a great way of explaining Bitcoin and its utility.

I talked with Peter about 10 days ago for around 15 minutes about Bitcoin. It was a lively debate. We had the camera equipment all in place for an interview but he declined with the response, "I don't want you to make me look like a fool." So we will see if he comes around sometime. |

Your responses were well articulated. "Digital Crust" indeed. That's where bitcoins come from!

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

An audio download of the show is usually available by early to midafternoon at http://www.schiffradio.com/. If someone who is more tech savvy than myself could upload it it would be appreciated. The link for the download usually disappears the next day although it might be around over the weekend. |

Amazing how fast that 30-40min went. Erik did a really good job. And apparently that isn't even close to a long enough time to really explain bitcoin. I thought it would be plenty, but I could think of several key concepts that weren't mentioned. I hope it was enough to pique people's interest & read more about it.

From schiffradio.com: Our second guest is Erik Voorhees, Free State Participant and BitCoin official, on why BitCoin is the best alternative currency available, and why it's also the best hope for salvaging Americans' liberty. The idea of Bitcoin clearly takes some getting used to.  |

Had a couple back and forth emails with Tom a few months ago about bitcoins, the result of which was that he decided it was too confusing at the time. Glad to see they were able to at least get him considering it again.

Erik Voorhees, ...BitCoin official Well, I have always thought that if Roger Ver is Bitcoin Jesus, Erik Voorhees is Bitcoin Lao Tzu. |

I hope someone asks him how he feels about his service pushing normal node users (not miners) to an eventual blockchain fork. That would be enlightening.

If not SD, it would be someone else. At least assuming SD shortened our time below the limit, people see the problem while it is still relatively easy to fix. But the longer we wait, the harder it will be. |

He probably feels it's better for the network to solve the issue now rather than later. |
