Kim Dotcom’s life is never boring. When he’s not fighting off lawsuits, he is building mega-businesses like Megaupload. When he is not openly mocking the U.S. Government, he is building a Megaupload remix that will be built around Bitcoin’s digital currency.

I've been a big fan of [Trace Mayer](https://steemit.com/@tracemayer) ever since I saw him featured in the documentary [Bitcoin - The End Of Money As We Know It](http://theendofmoneyasweknowit.com/).
I refer to Trace as 'The Mayor of Bitcoin'. I figured hey, we have Roger Ver 'The Bitcoin Jesus' why not make Trace the Mayor? I mean that is his last name (different spelling).
And yes yes guys, I know this naming structure is akin to a hierarchical system. Don't take it seriously, it's only a bit of fun.
Anyway as soon as Trace appeared on Steemit a couple of days ago I invited him to have a chat about Steemit.
Here's the conversation for you to enjoy.

It’s a slow news day today and rather than picking any old news story I’ve opted to highlight a few points that The Merkle have pointed out about PIVX which I was not aware of because I have yet to read the PIVX whitepaper or study it in any detail. These high level points are quite enlightening though so let’s run through them.
