The Crypto Curator, Paul McNeal 

The first person I met at the Avantpay |19 conference was the
always smiling,  Crypto Curator, Paul McNeal. I had no idea
Paul was the host of a crypto news show, but after talking to
him, I knew he had the chops and would make a great guest for LAB
Radio.


Paul's path into crypto took a circuitous route to say the least.
Like many, he was able to leverage a previous skillset to help
him land where he is today. Initially Paul heard about Bitcoin
from the Bitcoin Knowledge podcast by Trace Mayer. 


This officially made him the "go-to" Bitcoin guy when the monthly
Chamber of Commerce Tech Committee Meeting took place in Loudoun
County, VA. Back in 2012 it was tough to make a case for its
uses, but Paul always spoke about it in a positive light and
defended it against its critics. However, the Chamber would not
put on a Bitcoin event.


Paul's background in the military has helped him in many ways. He
was an ROTC Army member in High School and then went into the
Navy. He was on a submarine and was doing IT work, which helped
him transition after leaving the military. Also, Paul picked up
lots of real world skills which was surprising to me. The story
of how he actually joined the Navy is quite interesting and worth
a listen (@14:02)


At this point we transition into the Avantpay19 Conference.
Initially he heard about the conference because he knows Joshua
and Peter, the organizers and founders of the event. It's not
every day you see Legislators, Bankers, Payments people, Cannabis
Entrepreneurs and Crypto enthusiasts all in one space talking
about the same thing. Since this conference is truly
one-of-a-kind, I asked Paul for his take on the event and his
other thoughts:  


What was the most eye opening part of the event

The difficulties bringing crypto and cannabis together

What would he change about the conference

What he learned by moderating the Tax panel

The SAFE (Secure And Fair Enforcement) Banking Act

The quality of the Speakers



Finally, we run through the Crypto Curators biggest fears in the
industry, as well as what he would change if he had a magic
wand.
