Some people see bitcoin as the start of a revolution - to them, bitcoin is a new digital currency, perfect for making smart and safe transactions without the need of banks and governments backing it up. But to others, it's a naïve fantasy, wrapped in magical thinking. A bubble. And not a currency at all.

In this episode, we will try to explain both bitcoin and the underlying technology blockchain.

Listen to Daniel Goldberg, a former reporter who has covered the tech world for many years, Rickard Damm, Head of Zone within Division X at Telia Company, Jason Bloomberg, President of Zap Think, and Stephan Nilsson, founder and leader of The Norwegian Bitcoin Association.
