The Bitcoin Game 16 - Meeting Bruce Fenton And Scott Rose - a podcast by Rob Mitchell

Welcome to episode 16 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. I was excited to talk to Bruce Fenton at the recent Texas Bitcoin Conference. It was a fun conversation, and I think it gives a good sense of Bruce as a person. He answered my questions about the exclusive Satoshi Roundtable Bitcoin retreat he organized, and filled me in about his impressive background in financial management. Our interview concluded with passionate exposition by Bruce. Note that we spoke before Bruce was voted in by the Bitcoin Foundation Board as their new Executive Director. I also spoke with Scott Rose, who I was familiar with from his popular comedic video series, "Shit Bitcoin Fanatics Say." Scott's background as an actor and a hired speaker for Apple, combined with his passion for Bitcoin, makes him a great cryptocurrency proponent. This is demonstrated in his recent Austin Nerd Night presentation called "Bitcoin 101: What Happens When We Decentralize Money?". I often think Bitcoin needs better P.R., and Scott did his part with this presentation. If you wonder why you hear traffic in the background, most of my interviews from this conference took place in the patio area outside of the Moody Theater. This is where the exhibiter's booths were located, and also where most people congregated when they weren't watching presentations.

These substantial metal keychains make great conversation starters, and they also make great gifts to or from Bitcoiners. You can find a list of online retailers at Bkeychain.com, several of whom support Bitcoin so much, they don’t even accept fiat currency. And of course, you’ll get the best deals from these retailers.
