Excellent interview with Paul Sztorc--please keep up the lineup of these amazing guests! No shortage of fascinating topics. Here's a row of swans to propose more talk about Swan Bitcoin and other companies that use external custodians (Prime Trust, etc.), which may limit the business options Swan and similar outfits (and maybe more counterparty risk). CrowdHealth's investment in Swan Bitcoin may be a topic for another episode, also. I'm curious how that works, and how far down the risks extend.

Loved having Paul on the show! Would love to see him back again! (Miss you, Chris!) One thing I really like about Monero, that I simply don't think Bitcoin can fix at this point, is the ability for the average person to mine using consumer hardware. My current system is I mine Monero (P2pool FTW), I buy Bitcoin.
