For episode 21 we had Asher Tan on CEO of CoinJar, a very successful Australian Bitcoin startup that offers similar services to Coinbase. We talked about the plans with CoinJar, what we think of Circle’s new product and the recent price increase. Levin Keller, who is a board member of the German Bitcoin foundation, joined us to talk about a recent statement by the German Finance ministry on Bitcoin. He has been warning about a possible sales tax on Bitcoin for months and that seems to be happening now. We talked through what the recent announcement means for businesses and where we’re likely to go in the future.
