On today’s show we have the distinct pleasure to talk to Trace Mayer about Bitcoin. For people not familiar with Trace, he has been one of the most influential people in the space, and he’s been heavily buying Bitcoin since it was only 25 cents. Not only that, Trace is an early investor in the Kraken Exchange, which is valued in excess of $5 billion, and he’s also an early investor in the Bitcoin merchant processor. BitPay. Trace has provided presentations to the Federal Reserve, the IRS, the Boone’s Bank, and many other insanely influential organizations about the impact of Bitcoin. He holds a JD from California Western School of Law, he has an accounting degree, and he’s just an all around wrecking ball of knowledge. So hold on to your hat and I hope you guys enjoy this conversation with the one and only, Trace Mayer.
