What’s The Deal With Bitcoin? (Featuring Cooper Carr of the Cine Pile Podcast)

I covered Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technology in previous videos, and one of the people who helped me research those videos was my good friend Cooper Carr.

Cooper runs his own podcast called the Cine Pile Podcast, where he and a couple of friends have “down to Earth discussions about films that matter”. I actually appeared on their podcast a while back, so you know it’s gotta be good.

But Cooper has been all about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for years now, so when I was researching for my video, he was one of the first people I talked to.

In this podcast, Cooper joins me to talk in depth about how he got into Bitcoin and crypto, what’s changed over the last few years and how this new paradigm is going to change in the future. It’s a fun conversation that touches on all kinds of tangents, so I hope you enjoy it.
