By day, bitcoin fanatic Scott Rose is a developer at FileMaker in Austin, Texas; by night, he's a comedian. Rose believes strongly in bitcoin’s potential to change our world for the better, but he can also see the funny side of his obsession. So, he makes videos.
They “primarily make fun of my own bitcoin enthusiasm with a little bit of self-deprecating humour,” he says.
