The Talk Show: Heart of a Gambler →
Excellent episode of John Gruber’s podcast this week, featuring Glenn Fleishman giving the best explanation of Bitcoin I’ve heard yet. I knew the gist before, but not many of the details, such as how transaction verification and distribution is built into the mining system.
It really is an ingenius, beautifully crafted system, regardless of what you think of it as a currency or investment (neither of which I’m interested in).
