Episode 19: robots + Bitcoin + music you can only hear in the woods
We have a lot of things on our minds, but as is ever the case, the Dude abides. This week Piper (our Chief-of-Staff + Editorial Director + Marketing Lead) joined us for an edition of Venture Design that Blows Our Mind (VDTBOM) that might change the way you see things. Along the way we talked about robots and that music you can only hear in the woods. All the rest this week is questions and more questions: How about "Uber for Robots"? Why not, indeed? We're sure someone out there is already working on it. Let us know if you are. In the meantime, don't pick a fight with a robot... ask Joe why. What's the significance of the number string 123456789? It's not obvious to you, it will be after a few minutes of listening to us discuss number theory. We're also interested in another number: $123,456,789,101,112. Please call us if you know how to make that one happen. Have you ever bought anything with Bitcoin? We discuss that topic with some lack of depth, as well as where this entire Bitcoin + blockchain thing might be going. I (Diego) am not adept at catching baseballs, so that was a chance to talk about Joe's recent article on sports and block chain. WATCH OUT - DUCK! Want to keep in touch?
