Hi there, and welcome to Blockchain Bit. This is a short episode about why I decided to rename and relaunch this podcast But before a little bit about me: My name is Ana Paula Picasso and I’m the founder of Blockchain PR - a marketing agency specialized in marketing services for blockchain startups and scaleups. In the beginning this podcast used to be called the blockchain Pr podcast, then I thought - to have the word podcast on the podcast title was redundant so I changed it to blockchain Bit. So, what’s this podcast about? This podcast is mainly about the people of blockchain - in this past year, I Interviewed entrepreneurs, developers, crypto enthusiasts and people that are involved in blockchain in one way or another. It’s not just about crypto - in fact, most of the episodes I talked to people about different applications of blockchain.  And I learnt a lot myself too.
