EB32 – Ira Miller & Freya Stevens: Coinapult, Locks and Letting the Bit Drop
Support the show, consider donating: 3Fbm3SuY5d1dxc9Ji5tMprPZ4dnJXG21K3 (http://bit.ly/1zdPeEv) Coinapult’s CEO Ira Miller and marketing specialist Freya Stevens join us for a discussion about their company and plans for the future. We particularly dove into their new Locks feature, which allows people to ‘lock’ the value of their bitcoins to other assets such as US Dollar, Euro or gold from directly within the Coinapult wallet. The goal is to remove one often-named barrier to mainstream adoption: volatility. We also talked about the amazing ‘Let the Bit Drop’ project, which involves sending bitcoin per SMS to every resident of a small Carribean island. A party in Q4 will launch the project and educational materials will be given to residents via government channels.
