Jason shares his views about why is there such little industry attention for general entrepreneurs that try to use these technologies as a payment solution.


By general, I refer to industries that are unrelated to bitcoin looking for better payment methods.


His take on cryptocurrency is a unique one, and I've done over 100 interviews.


Jason has paid employees with BCH and has had some success, but how does it compare to Western Union and PayPal?


We also discuss his concerns with BCH going forward and the characteristics he looks for in a cryptocurrency.
