OSCAR MERRY | Fountain Podcasting App, Bitcoin Streaming & Implementing Value For Value

Value for value has jumped forward with the ability to stream micropayments of Bitcoin whilst listening to your favourite podcaster (hopefully it's us)!
In Conversation #65 Oscar and I discuss: unique names and finding twitter handles, the fountain podcasting app and how it started, why Oscar was quick to combine his crypto and podcasting passions, awesome design and choosing which features to integrate first, his thoughts on the v4v model, escaping bureaucracy to work on something he loves and his favourite book.
I hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
