The Beginner’s Guide To Bitcoin | What Bitcoin Did |
Peter McCormack does a an excellent job podcasting. If you want to learn about what is going on with the Bitcoin space and you are not interested in Shitcoins[1] then Peter is your man. Here we have outlined the What Bitcoin Did Podcast Series: The Beginner’s Guide To Bitcoin
Besides being very opinionated about cryptocurrency Peter has achieved another goal. He has learned to ask questions, learn from his mistakes and teach others about his progress in as honest a way as he can possible. His style is refreshing and his knowledge of the Bitcoin space deepens to match his fascination and curiosity.
This podcast series The Beginner's Guide to Bitcoin is, hands down, the best! His guest are all people who have worked very hard to improve the Bitcoin space and these guest are not salespeople. If anything they will warn you about the potential pitfalls, scams and bad practices. Some of the talk is extremely technical but Peter is there in the interview to advocate for the totally clueless. None of his guests were born with this knowledge and the only reason they even attempt to teach and help others is due to their own undeniable passion.
This is a time that we are in that is very similar to 1997 of the early days of the internet. This is the time where the internet of Decentralized Money is at hand. Bitcoin is over 11 years old and we are beginning with a well developed exciting tool. Follow Peter as he chases the rabbit down the hole.
All of the links directly point to Peter's website. In some ways it is kind of silly to copy this but we feel that the series is so important that it has to be shared in as many places as possible. We hope Peter will forgive us for doing this redundant task. We can always say, "We're sorry."
