Joel & Travis: "Is it possible that bitcoin was created by the NSA?"

Lopp: "Definitely possible. But the great thing is that it doesnt matter."

Joel & Travis: "Go on..."

Later in the interview Lopp discusses his long-term investment strategies and outlook for the cryptocurrency space. This is powerful testimony from a developer and investor who has prospered in this field since its inception. I recommend Bad Crypto Podcast for cryptocurrency news and insight to listeners of all skill levels.
