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.
