Hey Steemit friends! Wow it's been a long time since i've posted new content. I hope you all are still out there. I'm now all powered-up and ready to add value to this wonderful community again. :D
I recently interviewed Erik Voorhees (of Shapeshift.io) on a number of topics including:
- Early days of being a Bitcoin Entrepreneur (BitInstant and Satoshi Dice)
- If "alt-coins" are in a bubble
- Gold/Silver and how Bitcoin should be accepted by "gold bugs" (incl why Peter Schiff is wrong abt crypto-currencies)
- The current state of Offshore Banking and why it's a dead dinosaur
- How the idea of Shapeshift.io came about and how it's being built
- Comments on the never ending Bitcoin block size drama
- ...and so much more. (~90min podcast)
Hope you enjoy and the full show notes and audio are on the website: http://libertyentrepreneurs.com/erik-voorhees

Peter schiff has been wrong about a lot of things. He was one of the people who told others not to buy bitcoin smh.

yep, i was working for him building his offshore bank http://www.europacbank.com when he was talking all this nonsense. Was a big reason that I resigned as Head of Business Development.

No. He hasn't changed his view. I follow him closely, even though he's been wrong about Bitcoin :) Just yesterday he posted a dramatic podcast talking about how it's probably near the top, not bottom. He came down harder on cryptos than usual. So he's more bearish on cryptos than ever.

i have followed schiff for years as i'm in the survival niche - and i've heard him denounce bitcoin. i wonder if this has something to do with his marketing connections

If the mainstream media is saying we're in a bubble, you can be assured that we're 100% not in a bubble. All you have to do is look at China, bitcoin is going crazy over there. Businesses are starting to incorporate bitcoin as a payment method as it's the future and the Chinese know it.
