Episode Summary

Truthraider is a former war veteran turned bitcoin advocate who's created a large bitcoin and blockchain community with his over 80 thousand followers on Twitter. He is the head of bitcoin social marketing and growth management for mousebelt.com, the founder of Truthraider.com, served as a principal social media sponsor to the 2019 Tour De Crypto Coast to Coast charity ride across America. He is focused on advancing the industry by rallying a vast network of social media influencers and is a true thought-leader in the space with his own podcast and consistent speaking appearances at international bitcoin conferences. Our conversation begins by discussing how Truthraider got into the industry and how he sees social media affecting its growth. We then go into discussing the difference between bitcoin today and what it was in 2017 with the participation of groups such as Greyscale and MicroStrategy. Next, we talk about bitcoin as an institutional asset and where we stand with traditional investment funds gaining exposure. We then discuss bitcoin mining and how energy companies are beginning to shift their view of the industry as a way to leverage their balance sheets and monetize their wasted assets. Finally, we wrap up by talking about what Truthraider is excited to see advance in the space. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode with a true bitcoin advocate and industry-leader and know if you are into bitcoin you will as well.
