This week´s episode of Digital Culture explores the topic of the digital currency. It covers the basics of the Bitcoin in order to provide a basis for a debate and lists the benefits of using the digital currency - such as how fast and secure it is, how it helps 3rd world countries and how does it protect our assets such as land.  
My guest, Mina, is a professional in the field of blockchain companies and she helps me blockbust some of the most common myths regarding the Bitcoin: whether it is truly secure, how does it ensure we do not get scammed and has it ever been hacked. We also discuss the possibility of it becoming a global currency and why this is not plausible currently.
