On this episode of The Tatiana Show, Tatiana and Josh have a conversation with Brent Lyman, Senior Advisor at www.coinme.com. Coinme is America’s first licensed bitcoin kiosk company. Brent tells us of the founding of Coinme in 2014 in Seattle, Washington and what started as 100 kiosks has now grown to over 3000 today.
We discuss how they worked with regulators to update the money transmitter laws to create a virtual currency license. We then delve into their partnership with Coinstar and how that may influence mainstream usability of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Brent gives us some insight into future plans for the company to expand into all 50 states as well as internationally. Brent also reveals his thoughts on working with money transfer companies and potential mergers of bitcoin networks with financial institutions.
