July 8th from Ukraine: This was a historic 100th episode of “The Bitcoin Group” and we are happy to bring back old guests like Andreas for this show. Here is the TLDR:
1. The Halvening – It is finally happen the weekend this show aired so we no longer have to discuss it. My answer has not changed from the previous 3-4 shows (or from November of 2015).
2. Vogogo Closes – I have not heard of Vogogo prior to this taping but like all other Bitcoin payment processors they are just not very useful nor profitable. Please review my article “https://www.libertylifetrail.com/2016/04/04/the-top-use-cases-for-bitcoin/” to learn more.
3. Uber Bitcoin – This was not a case of Uber doing anything, people with Zapo cards are using them on Uber cause their currency sucks. This makes me nervous for Zapo and their relationship with Visa. I also debate Andreas over the goodness/evil that is Uber.
NOTE: Unfortunately I lost signal at the end of topic 3 and was not there for the last 40 min of the show.
