I just downloaded it from the peterschiff web site. It didn't require joining or anything. You can't watch it on their site without being a member.

How did you do it without joining?

How about "They would have to shut down the whole Internet forever or bitcoin would restart right away"

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.

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

LOL. On that note, I think you did a great job keeping the discussion at a non-technical level.

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.

Erik Voorhees, ...BitCoin official

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

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.

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.  Cheesy

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.

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.
