Andy Schroder is an engineer and entrepreneur who has created the Bitcoin Fluid Dispenser and Distributed Charge. These projects are Changing the Tide by providing a smooth path that vendors can use to dispense commodities and energy for Bitcoin in a trustless or near-trustless way. Both the seller and the buyer(s) can rely on their Bitcoin and Lightning full nodes to transact, bolstering their financial privacy and sovereignty.Distributed Charge's proprietary Board A0 is "The First Building Block of a Bitcoin Lightning Network Enabled Energy Grid." The goal is to create a truly distributed network of charging stations for electric cars.Links: ​Andy's website: http://andyschroder.com/Andy's Twitter handle: @_andy_schroder_Bitcoin Fluid Dispenser overview: http://andyschroder.com/BitcoinFluidDispenser/TheOriginal/Distributed Charge overview:http://andyschroder.com/DistributedCharge/alpha/InitialDemonstration/Board A0 overview:http://andyschroder.com/DistributedCharge/BoardA0/Overview/*Note: Nothing in this podcast constitutes financial, legal, or medical advice.
