We recently celebrated our fifth anniversary here at BitPay. To mark the occasion, we sat down with our co-founder and CEO Stephen Pair to get his thoughts on some of our top questions:
- How and when Stephen first learned about bitcoin
- Why we started BitPay
- What the bitcoin ecosystem was like in BitPay's first days
- How BitPay in 2016 is different from BitPay in 2011
- What we're most proud of having created in these five years since launching
- How our understanding of bitcoin/bitcoin's importance has changed since BitPay launched in 2011
- What Stephen thinks needs to happen (next five years) for bitcoin payments to reach a larger audience of businesses and consumers
This is the first episode of a new podcast project we're working on. Stay tuned for more episodes!
