Bitcoin on Free Talk Live

[error]

Nationally syndicated talk radio show Free Talk Live talked about Bitcoin on March 16 after gavin met up with the FTL crew (and apparently didn't pay the restaurant bill for them). Starting from around 45minutes in the archive.

Also getting discussion: Silk Road, Tor, and more.

Actually, I'm surprised Mark doesn't remember (or maybe he just didn't want to get bogged down in details)-- he paid for my lunch, and I paid him back in Bitcoins.

Which turned out to be a good deal for him, they went from about 40cents apiece to something like 60cents apiece in the week or so it took him to setup a bitcoin account and give me his receiving address (I paid at the 'when we had lunch' exchange rate, of course).

If you have a bitcoin business and are thinking about advertising, FTL listeners might be a receptive market-- and I bet you might be able to convince Mark and Ian to take payment in bitcoin.

I think they just forgot who paid what; that's what it sounded like. Surprised they remembered it being a Thai restaurant, though.

Edit: I also didn't realize this was already being discussed in the Silk Road thread... oops!

I like the guy claiming we're CIA.

You mean the Silk Road.

There are several radio stations in Florida airing FTL. Keep trying

Haha, oh. Shows how much I know. I just remember signing a petition in Orlando to get an Orlando station to carry it. However, I don't remember someone declaring success. They may carry it here, I'd just rather listen to Sean Hannity I guess. That's a joke of course.
