EC's Raw Beginner Bitcoin Stream, Episode 47
Welcome to EC’s Raw Beginner Bitcoin Stream!
Where I discuss the fundamentals of Bitcoin in terms ordinary people can use. Unsure where to start understanding this technology? Start right here. No experience necessary. I will take all relevant questions from the chat and otherwise address what I've identified as the most common questions.
I would like this show to be focused on audience questions and have the tenor of a friendly conversation. Please keep the chat friendly and respectful.
