I love Bitcoin.

Having said that, I definitely don’t consider myself a Bitcoin maxi. I enjoy listening to different viewpoints and arguments against this magic Internet money, and my portfolio is diversified among many assets.

This is what is interesting about Decred Co-Founder and Project Lead Jake Yocom-Piatt. Decred purports to be a community-driven, superior store-of-value than Bitcoin. We sat down with Jake for a pretty intriguing interview about Bitcoin, Decred and more. He has written code that has been used in the composition of several Bitcoin-related projects, including the creation of Lightning Network Daemon, and claims after getting into Bitcoin in 2013 that he got “bored of it”.

Of particular note is the hybrid Proof-of-Work/Proof-of-Stake mechanism that Decred utilises, which Jake claims offers the best of both worlds and minimises the trade-offs. With all the talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Proof-of-Work, it was fun to discuss this with someone so close to the ground on this much-debated topic in crypto.

For any Bitcoin doubters, this will likely serve as an interesting watch for obvious reasons. But so, too, for the mega-bulls; it’s always educational to open your mind to both sides of the argument, and Jake and I even discussed the mindless tribalism, and stubborn refusal to debate, that is often seen in this otherwise-wonderful industry.

The full interview is below – enjoy!

Here’s How Bitcoin’s Current Supply Would Look Like in 3D

Bitcoin is experiencing one of the most challenging periods in its twelve-year history, but let’s leave the panic aside and imagine what the largest crypto would look like if it were physical. How Much Space Would Bitcoin Get? Most regulators and government officials prefer to refer to Bitcoin as virtual currency, and for very good reasons – the cryptocurrency supply resides on servers rather than our pockets and suitcases. Thanks to the magic of blockchain, […]
