Radio Recap: Jimmy Nguyen & Craig Steven Wright of nChain

I’ve hosted a few shows relating to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency now and, I swear, each show leaves me with more questions than the last. The last digital currency-themed show I hosted, authors of The Age of Cryptocurrency, Paul Vigna and Michael Casey, joined the show along with Sean Worthington, the founder of the energy-efficient digital currency, CloudCoin.

One of the biggest takeaways from that particular episode was a quote from Michael Casey who said: “One of the challenges is nomenclature. We are in a social zeitgeist of figuring out what some of these things mean. Do you call something that has some of the qualities of a blockchain, a blockchain?”

So what is the blockchain, and what’s the difference between blockchain and distributed ledger? And how will blockchain technologies affect corporations competing in our capitalist system? I decided to ask the experts to help further elaborate on my cryptocurrency lessons (and obsession).

Here with me to discuss the ever-Dot Complicated blockchain are two leading experts in the field, both from the global leader in research and development of blockchain technologies, nChain Group, CEO, Jimmy Nguyen and nChain Chief Scientist, Dr. Craig Wright.
