Paying the World in Bitcoin with Jonathan Chester, CEO of BitWage

Jonathan Chester became a Bitcoin adopter almost a decade ago, with the intention of changing the way that people are paid. He is the founder and CEO of BitWage, the most popular crypto payment company and is responsible for making sure that anyone and everyone around the world can be paid in Bitcoin. As Jonathan elaborates on in the podcast, it's usually when disbelief creeps in that the best things begin to unfold in crypto. Scott Melker and Jonathan Chester further discuss early adopters in crypto, magic internet money, paying the world in crypto, storing cash under a mattress, perverse incentives, Tim Draper as an investor, Wall Street’s coordinated FUD, the scarcity of Bitcoin, beneath the whitepaper, infinite wealth on a paper wallet, borrowing against Bitcoin, the disbelief of bull runs, and more. ––– MONEY ON CHAIN Money On Chain brings Bitcoin to mass adoption with solutions to meet the needs of different types of users: a fully bitcoin-collateralized stablecoin (DoC), a bitcoin on steroids (BPro), and a dizzying bitcoiner option for lovers of leveraged trading (BTCx).
