In this episode, Ms. Liggero Fontana talks to the Chief Scientist of nChain and author of the Bitcoin Whitepaper.

Dr. Wright is also the inventor of Bitcoin itself. He discusses the origin of Bitcoin, journey with Bitcoin, benefits of gambling with Bitcoin in micropayments and why Bitcoin is the ideal system for regulatory audits.

"I knew Dr. Wright had gambling industry experience, but only until this Hashing It Out interview did I realize how deep it was and recognize the influence his gaming experience had on creating Bitcoin itself," Liggero reveals.

Watch the interview below.
