I am a massive fan of Tim Ferriss, he has the ability to really deconstruct a theme. If anyone can teach you the essentials of a new field it will be Tim.
Nick Szabo I don't know, but given he is on Tim's podcast you know it will be good.
Tim Ferriss is becoming the ultimate curator! He really should be on steemit.com hehe! Maybe after this interview he'd be interested!

The table of contents looks like a great intro to cryptocurrency.

From the podcast notes: you will find as usual the notes contain a treasure trove of info which looks like a great place to start learning about Cryptocurrency.
I am a newbie in this field, and you probably are too. That is ok, because of the accelerating pace of technological change we wlll all be newbies constantly. What is going to matter is how fast you can learn about new subjects.

Why can I not "resteem" the post?

Hi Zack! I think because it is older than 7 days.
I have been digesting it but it extremely detail heavy. I hope to do a detailed writeup about this podcast. I am a total newbie in this area, so extremely happy that Tim covered it.
I'll reply to you here when it is finished!

I'm personally just finishing listening to it. However, I am also a newbie. Since it's not my particular field I'll stick to writing about natural science. I thought this interview was outstanding. The one I'm listening to is on this page. https://overcast.fm/+BmGV410hM

Nick Szabo is a legend! I need to sneak in time to listen to this, thanks for the share @the-traveller

very interesting, Tim Ferriss is really in the heart of startups, Silicon Valley and extremely tech savvy. But he admits (and I admire him a lot for it) that he does not really know what many of these terms really mean.
This indicates to me that many other people throwing these terms around mostly don't know what they are talking about either.
I keep hearing about how important the blockchain concept is but haven't built my own mental model of what the implications are.
Still digesting the info, the podcast is super dense in concepts, in a good way. But there are a few mindbenders in it!

Did not doubt he'd be good, the list of guests on Tim's podcast is mind boggling. I am quite new to crypto currency but looks fascinating.
Listening now, great explanation of the basics for me! Looks to be a gold mine of info! Exactly what I was hoping for!
