Special guest is Nelson Hsieh, a New Testament expert with Tyndale at Cambridge who has a detailed interest in digital currency. Pete and Ben ask the basics about cryptocurrencies before hearing more about Nelson's take on "Would Jesus buy Bitcoin?" Nelson explores issues of accessibility and control of currencies, as well as challenging assumptions about who can create what we tender.

Nelson S Hsieh is a Research Associate in New Testament Text and Language at Tyndale House, Cambridge. He is a Graduate Student, Systematic Theology, of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
