Ep. 14.0: "Bitcoin," "Crypto," "Alt-Coins"... What's the Difference?
"You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
- Inigo Montoya, on "crypto"
We’ve always been all about Bitcoin. But why? What about the other coins, like Ethereum? Why do we have a favorite child? And WHY is it basically a GameBoy?

Customer Reviews
Easy to Understand
I feel like I’m 5 years old when people start talking about crypto-whatevers. It’s all over my head. But Kailey and Matt talk bitty to ME like I am 5 and it’s sort of all making sense now. In fact I’m finding myself starting to try to explain it to other people. Thanks y’all! Keep up the great work.
10/10 Recommend
As someone who did not grow up in a household where financial literacy was prioritized, I have been trying for the last 3 years to educate myself around money. I’ve had some really great resources who have been successful in the stock market try to explain how I can engage with it, but none of those conversations ever came CLOSE to what Talk Bitcoin to Me was able to do for me. Kailey and Matt have created a space that invites me into conversation and calms my anxiety around money at the same time. Literally my favorite thing to listen to when I go on runs now.
More please
I’ve never enjoyed learning about Bitcoin. These two make it fun and accessible!
