#codepunk 007: Understanding Bitcoin and the Blockchain

In this episode, we talk changes in our professional lives--and some of our favorite beer so far this year--before taking a deep dive into Bitcoin and the revolutionary technology known as the Blockchain. What is the Blockchain, and how exactly does Bitcoin mining work? It isn't easy to wrap your head around, so we walk through the various components, as well as discuss the implications of Blockchain technology on more than just the financial system.
