Bitcoin and Gaming with Ben Cousens #2 Sneakers to the Metaverse

We continue our explorations with Ben Cousens of Lakestar Ventures. 

In this episode, Ben and I explore our history with BTC and the many ways in which Bitcoin can not only integrate into Games but how BTC is the money of "onlife." We discuss a number of cool games and companies that have integrated BTC into their games and virtual worlds and where the space can go from here. 

Hope you enjoy!
