After a few weeks of running around the country, Daniel Brown is back in the hotseat and ready to talk Bitcoin. Don’t miss the big return!For today’s show, we’ll do something a little different. We decided it might be fun to share all kinds of tidbits about ourselves, the history of YMB, and how we run things around here.There’s no particular reason for this topic selection. We just realized that there are plenty of meta-YMB details worth mentioning so we thought we’d take part of an episode to let you in on it all.Also today: Some thoughts on Ripple and other crypto scams. Bitcoin’s properties make it an excellent target for thieves, so we want to cover some of the countless ways that newbs have been burnt over the years.Catch the livestream tonight at 9PM Eastern and check the list below for some of the specific stories we’ll cover!- Will Ripple Crash Soon, F

And the holidays are finally over, so we’ll be completely back on track next time.Apparently Tim is giving up on Bitcoin for 2018. He doesn’t even believe in New Year’s resolutions (as he’ll explain in today’s show) but he still plans to quit Bitcoin.Ok, as usual, I exaggerate a bit. To be fair, Tim’s not really giving up Bitcoin itself. In fact, he plans to buy more crypto this year. But he does want to cut back on Bitcoin Twitter, Bitcoin Reddit, and other media. Apparently it’s just too darn much for him, but tune in for his exact reasoning.And Tim has a few other Bitcoin-related New Year’s resolutions that he’ll share today so you absolutely do not want to miss this episode.

MP3 and More: http://ymb.tc/e213This is episode 213 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast. This episode is a bit late due to some holiday craziness, but we promise you’ll still love it!Also due to the holidays, today’s show is all about charity in the crypto world. Bitcoin may not be very easy to give away when the transaction fee alone is upwards of $30 these days, but it still provides tons of benefits to both givers and receivers.Tim’s here to explain everything – like how Bitcoin can be transparent, how it doesn’t care where you live, how it’s certain, and why all of that matters.In a word, Bitcoin is free. And that is absolutely essential for true charity, love, kindness, and peace.Tune in now for more thoughts on all that in a brand new rant from Tim Baker!Every click helps.

MP3, Links, and More: http://ymb.tc/e211This is episode 211 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast.Today’s episode is all about Tim’s apparent hatred for crypto miners (http://ymb.tc/bfl). He knows that they’re necessary for Bitcoin but he still thinks they have serious issues. Is it because they’re greedy? Is it because they cheat? Is it because they’re ignorant? Not quite.Ok, to be fair, Tim doesn’t hate all miners. There’s just a particular group of them that really grinds his gears: Newbies. These guys bug Tim because they don’t really get what Bitcoin is all about. They’re just in it for “free” money.But aren’t we supposed to sympathize with Bitcoin newbies? Shouldn’t we feel some kind of compassion for them because we were once just as stupid? Probably, but Tim’s mean like that. Tune in now for a brand new rant!Every click helps.

MP3, Poll, Links, and More: http://ymb.tc/e210This is episode 210 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast.Look, we’re not all perfect. We love Bitcoin, but sometimes it’s just too fat for us. And those hot altcoins won’t stop flirting with us. It’s a fatal attraction that can wreck even the strongest relationships.But seriously, that’s exactly what happened to me this week. Bitcoin wanted $14 from me and I’d had enough. For too long, this bloated crypto has been taking and taking from me. I decided enough is enough, so I used an alt.And it was great. So great, in fact, that I later used another alt.What the heck does all this mean? Is it a sign that Bitcoin will soon go the way of MySpace? How has the Bitcoin price been rising so fast in the midst of all this mempool carnage? Tune in for our thoughts on all that at tons more.Also in this episode: We’ll chat about a New York Times journalist who rejected crypto years ago and has since done a complete 180. He now understands Bitcoin’s potential a

MP3, Links, and More: http://ymb.tc/e209This is episode 209 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast.Today’s show is an absolutely special interview with Purse.io‘s Eduardo Gomez (http://ymb.tc/e148). Zack Voell sat down with him to chat about the importance of Bitcoin in places where fiat currency blatantly fails. And as a Venezuelan native, Eduardo knows exactly how dangerous bad monetary policy can be.He said that Venezuela prints money so fast that inflation amounts to a whopping 2-3% per DAY (http://ymb.tc/e151). Well shoot. We thought we had it bad at 2% per YEAR in the US… (http://ymb.tc/e138)Fortunately, Eduardo knows the solution: Bitcoin. It’s not just helpful, but it’s completely necessary for survival. Eduardo will share how he got into crypto and what it’s like to use it in Venezuela. The government there hates Bitcoin so much that they’ve arrested numerous miners.Tune in for the insightful interview! You’ve heard plenty of crazy things about Bitcoin in Venezuela, so make sure you g

There are plenty of tweeps out there who look for every possible opportunity to discredit crypto, likely because they feel bitter for never investing in it.To be fair, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with criticism. We need to be able to take it, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do today. We’ll walk through and respond to some of the most popular Bitcoin “problems” that have made the rounds lately.For example: Neo-Nazis use Bitcoin. Steam quit accepting Bitcoin for video games and related digital content. Bitcoin uses more energy than entire countries. We’ll cover all that and more in this episode.Catch the livestream tonight at 9PM Eastern and check the list below for some of the specific stories we’ll cover!- Neo-Nazi wealth is rapidly growing. Why? Bitcoin.- Steam is no longer

And the collectible cats didn’t just dominate social media. They literally took over the Ethereum blockchain, filling up the blocks and causing a spike in transaction fees.What on earth could this mean? Isn’t the blockchain supposed to be used for more noble purposes? And aren’t altcoins like Ethereum supposed to be more scalable than this? Tune in for Daniel Brown’s thoughts on all that and tons more.In particular, he’ll compare CryptoKitties to existing collectible games that run on the Bitcoin blockchain. Is CryptoKitties really any different? What does that say about the scaling debate?Also in today’s show: A review of CBS’s Bitcoin episode of The Big Bang Theory and some comments about YouTube ads.

MP3, Poll, Links, and More: http://ymb.tc/e206This is episode 206 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast.We’ve heard all kinds of Bitcoin slurs over the years. Bitcoin is useless. Evil. Too volatile. Overvalued. It’s magic internet money. (Okay, that last one is basically a compliment.) But frankly, most people who insult Bitcoin are just plain wrong.What are the worst things people say about Bitcoin? YMB’s own Zack Voell knows. He compiled a list of the top 5 dumbest things you can say about Bitcoin, posted it on Facebook, and generated all kinds of discussion. This week’s show is all about that list and the various opinions that Zack’s “friends” shared in the comments section. As a bonus, we’ll also cover one (kinda) smart thing that people say about Bitcoin.Also this week: We’ll touch on Coinbase’s failure to resist the IRS, the soaring Bitcoin price, and the best time(s) to buy crypto. Catch the livestream tonight at 9PM Eastern and check the list below for some of the specific stories we’

MP3 and More: http://ymb.tc/e205This is episode 205 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast. This is also another one of Tim Baker’s (in)famous rants.Today’s episode is all about some heavy topics like materialism, inflation, society, and creativity. In some ways, Tim loves materialism because it drives people to accomplish stuff so they can have stuff. But at the same time, some people are never happy with stuff. Maybe they should find pleasure in actually creating things?And believe it or not, inflation is an important factor in all this. As dollars rapidly lose value, people are driven to spend or waste money. If our money was deflationary instead (like Bitcoin), would we be able to spend less and create more?Tune in now to learn Tim’s thoughts on all that and tons more!Every click helps.

We know it’s not Thursday, but we’re making up for the episode we skipped on Thanksgiving.ICOs are (still) going hard. Fundraisers dump loads of cash into marketing so they can attempt to grab our attention on Facebook, Twitter, and everywhere else (including here on YMB). Some campaigns have successfully raised hundreds of millions of dollars, only to accomplish virtually nothing.But lawyers and legislators are also ramping up their games. We covered an ICO warning from the SEC several months ago, but that could be nothing compared to what’s coming. Will the ICO craze finally crumble under the long arm of the law? We’ll share our thoughts during this episode.Then later in the show, we’ll spend some time chatting about the spiking Bgold and Bcash prices.

As one of our more principled hosts, Tim Baker is here today to explain why Bitcoin is amazing regardless of its current dollar value. It sets people free and for that, we’d pay anything.Then later in the show, Tim will share some bonus thoughts on police, the military, liberals, bullies, net neutrality, and more. Tune in now for a brand new rant! (If you’re new to YMB, you should know that Tim’s rants are definitely something special…)We should also note that the Thanksgiving holiday significantly threw off our schedule.

It’s time for two episodes per week so saddle up.Today’s show is all about this weekend’s crazy crypto forking drama. The Bitcoin Cash price spiked because Bitcoin2X was cancelled (maybe). This caused Bitcoin to plummet for awhile. And Bitcoin Gold rallied a bit because it finally launched today (even though it forked last month).If you replaced all the Bitcoin forks with names like “Kelly” and “Nancy,” you might think this was an episode of some daytime television show.Will any of these new Bitcoins take off? Is it possible to dump Bitcoin Gold yet? Are there even wallets for it? When will the Bcash flippening happen? Tune in for some thoughts on all those questions and tons more!
