Maths at: Bitcoin

It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform all of our
viewers and listeners that The Wonderful Liz, otherwise known as
Lydia Menzies passed away in late 2020.


 


Lydia, by her own choice, wanted to be enigmatic. So although you
gained glimpses into her past career as a school teacher you
rarely got insight into the funny, passionate and ebullient life
that she lived. Which is a great shame, because her impact on the
lives around her was tremendous. So much so that she even
received tributes in the house of commons from Angus MacNeil and
Jacob Rees-Mogg.


A fundraising page for Breast Cancer Now was set up in her honour
and we hope that you are able to donate whatever you can to this
cause.
This podcast covers the maths of bitcoin and guest stars one of
Lydia's oldest friends, Duncan Coutts, who is currently developing
one of the bitcoin alternatives.

Did we learn what bitcoin is?


Or did we just start to question all money?


Join us in Lydia's final podcast. We hope you enjoy it.

If you can't donate money to a cancer charity then
perhaps you could donate your time through
