This week, James is joined by Michael Perklin, information security expert and Chairman of the Board at C4. Listen in as Michael pulls back the curtain on the current cryptocurrency landscape. This episode is a roller-coaster ride, spanning Michael's career journey from trying to debunk Bitcoin as a "scam" to realizing its brilliance and founding one of the first Bitcoin security consultancies. You'll be on the edge of your seat as he recounts high-stakes experiences like securing Ethereum's historic initial coin offering, hunting down insider threats at ShapeShift, and guiding the company's pioneering transition into a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Get ready for a whirlwind of stories that showcase the challenges, opportunities, and mind-bending possibilities of blockchain technology.
