My guest today is fellow Aussie, Vijay Boyapati who is an Ex-Google engineer and the author of The Bullish Case for Bitcoin. Vijay’s book has been translated into over twenty different languages and is said to be one of the most read pieces of literature on Bitcoin. This is a monster episode and we go deep into so much more than just Bitcoin and the Blockchain.

Some of the topics we get into include:

  • Who is Vijay and what led him to start working for Google? (04:28)
  • Vijay shares why he identifies as a Libertarian and what he learned from working in Silicon Valley. (08:13)
  • Why Vijay left his job at Google in 2007 to work on the Ron Paul US presidential campaign. (11:46)
  • What exactly is Bitcoin and the Blockchain? (15:06)
  • Why is Bitcoin important and what problem does it solve for the average person? (31:51)
  • Gold v Bitcoin (45:27)
  • Will Bitcoin be used as money anytime soon? (01:02:22)
  • FIRE community Q&A (01:17:57)
