Published: Dec. 31, 2015, 10:08 a.m.

This week I interviewed a short-term Bitcoin trader, who goes by the alias of BTCVIX.\nAs you can imagine, this episode is a little different \u2013 this is an area (or should I say, a market) we haven\u2019t yet explored on the podcast, in past interviews.\nWith that being said, I found this discussion to be really interesting and I\u2019m certain you will also. Some of the topics we spoke about include:\n\nWhy VIX went from initially trading stocks and options, into the Wild West \u2013 Bitcoin markets.\n\nWe spend plenty of time discussing the landscape of Bitcoin; going into how the digital currency is \u2018mined\u2019, how inflation is hard coded in the \u2018ledger\u2019, and the real \u2018counter-party risks\u2019.\n\nChanging the way you may think about consistency, and understanding non-linear outcomes within your trading results.\n\nBut that\u2019s just a quick sample of topics ahead \u2013 hit the \u2018play\u2019 button to learn more about the realm of cryptocurrencies.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
