#18: Meyrick - Confessions of a Softly-Spoken Bitcoin Maxi
About this episode
This week's episode is with a softly spoken, self-described Bitcoin toxic maximalist whose nym suggests as much - Honey Badger.
He is a key cog in one of Australia's leading Bitcoin-only exchanges, Amber, and in this chat we dig deep into a range of topics from crypto to jiujitsu to the challenges of running a Bitcoin exchange.
Aside from his work at Amber, he also has his own pod "Meyrick Dabbling Path" available on all pod catchers. He's a humble fella that embodies all that is Bitcoin and you're sure to love this episode.
