Description

We recorded episode 20 in Amsterdam the morning after the Bitcoin 2014 conference organized by the Bitcoin Foundation.
Our two guests for the post-conference sit-down were Jorge Timon (twitter.com/timoncc) and Mark Friedenbach (twitter.com/MarkFriedenbach). Jorge is the founder of Freicoin, which is, from an economic perspective, one of the most innovative altcoins. They are also the creators of Freimarkets, which aims to bring Bitcoin 2.0 capabilities into the Bitcoin feature set itself. Finally, they are part of the newly formed Blockstream company, which will develop the Sidechains proposal.
