This week on the VICE Podcast, Reihan Salam sits down with Jerry Brito, one of the leading experts on Bitcoin. Jerry is a senior research fellow at George Mason University’s Mercatus Center and director of its Technology Policy Programme. His research focuses on internet policy, copyright and the regulatory process. Jerry was kind enough to walk us through the world of Bitcoin, the first decentralised digital currency that now has a few imitators.
