Shownotes for Let's Talk Bitcoin Episode 88 - Gox Gox Gox Gox Gox Gox Gox
LTB-Cover_Art_03b
This last week saw a foundational member of the Bitcoin infrastructure
crumble and fall in what looks like certain bankruptcy and a years long
recovery. We won’t know what’s really going on until the folks in Japan open up but
everybody's got an opinion on it, and that’s where we begin today.
Erik Voorhees is a beacon in the world of bitcoin philosophy and one of its most
outspoken community advocates. We kick off todays show with Stephanie Murphy’s
reading of Erik Voorhees letter entitled “Some words for my friends”
Then, Bloomberg News is concerned about the repercussions of Gox on the community, the
currency and the momentum we’ve built over the last few years. Recently they
interviewed Barry Silbert, founder at Second Market and progenitor of what claims to be
the first wall-street backed Bitcoin exchange.
Throughout this episode we’ll hear from members of the community including Mastercoin
Director Ron Gross and Legal Mind Trace Mayer, EasyDNS CEO Mark Jeftovic and
Ethereum Evangelist Joel Dietz. We even hear a bit from Funnyman Jon Stewart on the
right way to break the law as a financial institution.
We end todays show with a collaborative piece, both in its writing and in todays
performance as we explore The Ghost in the Machine at Mt.Gox, with portions of an IRC
log re-enacted by the newly formed LTB Players.
But first, why bother building towers when they sometimes fall down? Erik Voorhees
explains...
