A Chat in NYC with Adam Levine – Part 1

One of the best parts about the Inside Bitcoins Conference in NYC last week was the opportunity to meet so many interesting, dedicated and fascinating minds. Adam Levine, host of Let’s Talk Bitcoin is one of them. This is how I described Adam in my conference summary:

Adam B. Levine – YouTube is Broken
Adam has a quick and interesting mind, one that hits you like a hurricane the moment he starts speaking. I was really excited for his talk, since he was focused on what I think is one of the biggest business problems on the web today. This has to do with the inefficiencies of website monetization. As a guy that runs podcasts, his particular area of concern was youtube. He demonstrated that by placing a QR code within videos to allow bitcoin donations, he was able to earn multiples of what he could via traditional ad networks. This really impressed me, mainly because such a small percentage of the population has ever owned a bitcoin.

The day after the conference Adam and I sat down and recorded a couple of segments. I even took on the role of interviewer for a few of minutes due to his huge knowledge advantage on me re: Bitcoin. I learned quite a bit from him during our chat and I think you will too.

Here is part 1. Enjoy!
