In the last 20 years, content publishing platforms have proliferated to an almost insane number. There are countless places where people and companies can post articles, blogs, videos, photos, live content and so on. Despite this diverse offering, little innovation has happened in monetizing content, which still mostly remains ad-based. 

We're joined by Ryan X. Charles, Bitcoin Developer and Founder of Yours. Yours would like to address the monetization problem by allowing content producers to earn Bitcoin when they create good content. Yours is an in-browser application which implements a Bitcoin wallet and enables micro-transactions through their own implementation of the Lightning Network. Content Creators are paid by Curators who attribute value to the content. Curators are themselves rewarded when content they find valuable goes viral. 

Topics discussed in this episode:

- Ryan's background as the Lead Developer of BitCore, and his experience at BitGo and Reddit
- What is Yours and what types of applications it enables
- The technical components of Yours
- The Yours application and how users post and access content
- Why he chose to build Yours on bitcoin
- How micropayments are implemented in Yours
- How Yours addresses the issue of copyright infringement
- What challenges Yours may face in order to reach critical mass

In the world of Bitcoin podcast, there is one show which definitely stands out as the longest running, Let's Talk Bitcoin! In its 4-year history, the show has produced over 320 episodes and expanded to become a network of podcasts which includes Epicenter and many others. 

We're joined by Adam B. Levine the founder and host of Let's Talk Bitcoin! It was thanks to Adam that Sébastien and Brian first connected in 2013, so in many ways, we consider him as the "spiritual grandfather" of Epicenter. Adam reflects on his signature show and the network he created in 2014. He discusses the future of the network and makes an announcement live on the show, which even takes us by surprise.

Topics discussed in this episode:
- The history of the Let's Talk Bitcoin! podcast
- What listeners can expect for the future of the show
- The LTB Coin reward token experiment, what was learned and the future of that project
- The Let's Talk Bitcoin! Network and how it's evolving
- The Tokenly project and its use cases
- Token.fm: a platform for music creators to sell licences to their music as tokens

Welcome to episode 59 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. I'm happy to bring to you part one of an interview with Cypherpunk and CEO of Blockstream, Dr. Adam Back. Dr. Back talks about topics such as his first computers, his early privacy-oriented work, Hashcash vs. other proof-of-work, various early electronic money systems, and his work on Bitcoin Confidential Transactions. Get ready to soak in some history from one of the people whose "work" became an integral part of Bitcoin.
