It’s exactly the kind of conversation that I would have had on every episode had I stuck with the “Bitcoin in Politics” name.</p> <p>The element of surprise: Dating as an outspoken bitcoiner just a month after the capitulation phase of the bear market was a rough experience. And at the time, Zack was describing part of it in his tweets. In this episode, you get to hear some spicy details about having a personal life when you’re basically married to Bitcoin.</p>
