The Bitcoin Game #50: Jeremy Allaire

The Bitcoin Game

Hello, welcome to episode 50 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. This episode also marks three years since I started this podcast.

Back in 2013, when I was first getting into Bitcoin, Jeremy Allaire's interest in the space was a big validation of Bitcoin's importance as a disruptive technology. So I was pretty excited when Brian Cohen introduced me to Jeremy to arrange this interview. In today's podcast, you'll hear Jeremy talk about his early days exploring the Internet, then building companies based on innovative content delivery tools, and eventually, his decision to create Circle, a payment company built on Bitcoin. Jeremy also talks about his brand new open-source project, CENTRE.

How many billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency did Circle trade in August? Listen and find out!

SPONSOR

While much of a Bitcoiner's time is spent in the world of digital assets, sometimes it's nice to own a physical representation of the virtual things you care about. For just the price of a cup of coffee or two (at Starbucks), you can own your own Bitcoin Keychainor the newer Bitcoin Fork Pen.
