Look, I want to talk to you about Bitcoin today.

I want to briefly tell you when I first heard about Bitcoin because it involves a friend

of yours.

In 2013, I was doing my show London Real after I quit my job in banking, I couldn't take

it anymore.

And I had heard about this thing called Bitcoin and I put out on Twitter, who's the one

that can tell me about this instrument?

And this one name came up in London and it was Max Kaiser.

And so after a couple tweets back and forth, as we call each other out and size each other

up, Max showed up in my kitchen here in Shortage.

And I didn't know if we were going to have a fight or what and we had a broadcast.

And for 90 minutes, Max schooled me on Bitcoin.

And I think I just bought two for 85 pounds.

I was complaining.

There was no market makers, the order book system.

And Max really laid it out.

And that was my first experience with it and that episode's still up.

It's fascinating to watch now.

And then I didn't know what to do with it.

And so in 2015, 2017 and 2019, Andreas Ansonopoulos came back and would always tell us about what

was happening and what it could be in the future of money.

But again, it didn't hook me.
