Builders In Bitcoin EP11: Bringing Bitcoin to Local Business w/ Michael Atwood, Founder - Oshi, Organizer - Austin Bitcoin Club

I had the pleasure of speaking with the founder of Oshi—and my good friend—Michael Atwood. Showing local businesses how to use Bitcoin to both embrace a better system and grow their customer base is a mission I wholeheartedly believe in, and one that Michael and Oshi continue to champion.

In this episode, we discuss and dig into:

• what Oshi is and how it works
• overcoming the current friction associated with onboarding small business to Bitcoin
• Michael’s experience organizing the Austin Bitcoin Club meetup
• and a lot more…
