Ocean's New Chairman on Why Luke Dashjr Left24 sept27 min

<p>Bob Burnett was named executive chairman of Ocean on September 1st, three days after Luke Dashjr resigned. In this episode he explains what actually happened, why he thinks the BIP-110 push was never going to work, and why he doesn't think the people behind it are villains.</p>

<p>Larry Lepard argues this isn't the Wild West anymore. Bob argues Bitcoin is crossing the chasm and a lot of companies built for the early era are about to hit a wall. They disagree about almost none of it and still manage to spend twenty five minutes on it. Gary Leland keeps score. George Bodine is absent.</p>
