My name is Joshua Schmidt. This podcast is named The Nerd Assassin because it is a combination of all the interests I have. Partially, my mixed martial arts background which included Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and MMA fights. The assassin part. But my style was always very cerebral and I am currently a Software Engineer

Expect an eclectic podcast covering many of my hobbies including religion, mindset, cooking, beer, cocktails, whiskey, financial topics, and software engineering. The podcast will continue to change and evolve as I do.

This may include subjects such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, non-fungible tokens, smart contracts, or cryptocurrencies.

    ##### In This Episode #####

    I start by reading the Ethereum white paper and cover topics ranging from Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's "intrinsic" value, and alternative applications. We talk about the backbone of Bitcoin being blockchain. How ethereum's goal is a Turning-complete programming language on the blockchain. Then we get into Bitcoin as a state transition function.
