Published: May 11, 2015, 3:53 a.m.

b'On today\\u2019s show I am thrilled to be talking with Nick Pudar in Detroit, Michigan. Nick takes us on a journey to a place that very few people even know exists. That place is the brain wallet where it is now possible to store a small or a large amount of bitcoin wealth in your memory. We talk about Entropy, Diceware, bathtubs and 50 million, billion Jupiter water balloons. Nick does a fantastic job of helping us understand the true dangers of bitcoin brain wallets and the true value of them as well. Join us please on this terrifying and exhilarating journey into the mind.\\n\\nI also have a special treat for everyone today as I read the newest short fiction by the Bitcoin Communities favorite Author of fiction, Max Hernandez. The Song of Ashok is a short but compelling tale of the trials experienced by a young man trying to escape a war torn country with his family\\u2019s wealth hidden in a song that he has memorized. And you guessed it, that song is a brain wallet!\\n\\nTRANSCRIPTIONS\\nGreat news listeners!
