Welcome to the What Bitcoin did podcast.

Hi there, how are you all?

Welcome to the What Bitcoin did podcast brought to you by Cracken,

the best place to buy, sell and trade digital currencies.

I'm your host Peter McCormack and today I've got the next installment of my lightning month.

I have a second critique of the lightning network this time with Dan Roberson, but before that I've got a message from my show sponsors.

So first up we're going to talk about BlockFi and I have finally signed up to one of their

interest accounts. I have put my Bitcoin where my mouth is. I've put 20% of my portfolio into one. Okay so got to say a couple

of things about this first. If you're thinking of doing this definitely do your

research. There have been a lot of people talking about this with a lot of

different points of view. I did an interview with Zach Prince, their CEO, which is

available on my SoundCloud if you want to check that out. But I believe in the product now, I've heard

enough and want to give it a go. So yes, today. I stuck 20% of my Bitcoin portfolio in there I'm going to see how it goes I don't know if I'm going to

leave it in there forever whether it will be a month or a year but anyway I've signed up

I'm looking forward to seeing how it works looking forward to getting some interest on my Bitcoin.

And look it was super easy actually it was so easy.

All you do is you sign up with your email and your password, you set up your security, you complete your KYC,

and then you're given a deposit address, submit your

Bitcoin and you're there.

So mine's done.

As soon as the month is up and I get my interest, I'll let you know how that works, I'll

let you know the experience.
