My guests today are Ella Hough and Arsh Molu. Ella is a junior at Cornell University’s College of Arts and Sciences, pursuing degrees in Cognitive Science, Information Science and Business, studying the dynamics of Bitcoin’s diffusion through society, and Project Lead for Generation Bitcoin, a community of high school and college students inspring the younger generation to learn about bitcoin.
