Industry Spotlight
Bitcoin Uncensored
Bitcoin Uncensored is a critical and humorous take on the difficult aspects of the cryptocurrency movement. No subject is off limits, and the the community tropes and news are inspected with a healthy dose of irreverence and insight.
Hosted by Chris DeRose, the show reflects his skeptical and critical approach to the problems, solutions, and difficulties of the Internet’s “wild west”. Chris has lectured at numerous universities, and written for many industry’s journals, in addition to his hosting duties. Guided by a strong belief in EMH, and an agnostic approach to policy, Chris’ exploration of the field may best be described as “regrettably reasonable” and “principled irreverence”.
