I’m joined by Ray Youssef, the CEO of Paxful, the peer-to-peer exchange which recently removed Ethereum from their platform and he is the co-founder of Built with Bitcoin. This interview took place at the first African Bitcoin only conference in Ghana at the beginning of December 2022.
As Mark Maraia writes in an article about Youssef in the Bitcoin Magazine: “Youssef is the only person you will ever meet who went into New Orleans shortly after Hurricane Katrina struck and who flew into Egypt on an empty plane while the Arab Spring was becoming very dangerous and who went into Africa eight years ago to better understand how the people from that continent might use Bitcoin as a solution to their economic problems.”
Ray was a guest on my show already in May 2020, listen in to hear his adventurous story at
Paxful has been doing a lot of educational work in several African countries. The Built with Bitcoin Foundation is a humanitarian organization devoted to creating equitable opportunity by providing clean water, access to quality education, sustainable farming, and humanitarian support—all powered by Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
Today we’re talking about building local communities, how to foster sustainable education, how the lives of people have been changed to the better and about the role Bitcoin is playing.
The Anita Posch Show is hosted on BTC Podcasting, a Bitcoin for Fairness project, where you can host your podcast for free and at the same time earn bitcoin. Prior solutions required that the host is running their own Lightning node, which is no easy task. At BTC Podcasting we’re working together with Alby to make earning bitcoin accessible for anyone.

This is the audio version of my article Opposing the Corruptible Fiat System, Bitcoin Enforces Universal Human Rights.
It lays out how Bitcoin directly enforces seven of the 30 human rights listed on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations. The article shows the correlations between authoritarianism, corruption, inflation and oppression and how financial exclusion is used as an instrument to keep two billions worldwide from using a financial service.

This episode is a recording of the conversation I had on the Cryptovoices podcast with Matthew Mezinskis from Eastern Europe and Alec Harris from Eastern US. It was recorded in July 2022.
We're talking about my human rights journey which has taken me around the world, from Africa to South America. I'm explaining how Bitcoin helps those in need and why they use it. We also talk about the differences in Bitcoin usage compared to how it's used in more liberal democracies.
Today I'm speaking with Obi Nwosu and Pete Winn from Fedi, a new company that is building a community wallet on the Fedimint protocol. This is an exciting project because it opens a new form of shared custody for Bitcoin. The best custody is still self custody where you hold the keys to your Bitcoin, but for many people self custody is hard because they live in difficult circumstances, or can't afford a signing device. With Fedi you trust your friends and trusted members of your community, who hold the keys collaboratively.
Fedi is looking for the most motivated communities in the world to hyperbitcoinise in 2023. If this is your community apply now.
This episode is a recording of the conversation I had on the Cryptopulse podcast with Kevin and Ben from the UK. It was recorded in late June 2022.
We're talking about my journey into Bitcoin, about writing my book, my work in Africa with Bitcoin for Fairness, EU regulation on crypto and my drive to educate.

In November 2021 I visited El Salvador to research the use of Bitcoin, that has been legal tender there since early September. I was attending Bitcoin week in San Salvador, speaking at Adopting Bitcoin and LaBitconf, two Bitcoin conferences. Afterwards I moved to El Zonte at the Pacific Ocean, the village where Bitcoin Beach started in early 2020. I also visited "Bitcoin City SV" a cooperative in Sonzacate, that is educating their ~2,000 members about Bitcoin even longer than the folks at Bitcoin Beach.
In this episode I talk about my thoughts about Bitcoin City, the government's plans, Bitcoin Bonds and the state of adoption on the ground.

Meron Estefanos is a Swedish-based Eritrean human rights activist and journalist, who works tirelessly to aid and raise awareness about the plight of Eritrean refugees, who have been kidnapped, tortured, raped and held for ransom in the Sudan and the Sinai. In her efforts to rise up against the dictatorship in Eritrea she is engaging researchers in Ethiopia, who she has been paying with bitcoin. We’re also discussing the fact that Bitcoin can take down dictators and many human rights activists use bitcoin discreetly.
"Bitcoin helps people on the ground as a money transferring method, as an investment and even to topple a dictatorship. In Eritrea 36% of the population survive because of remittances. Banking is controlled by the government, the Hawala system is controlled by the government. The people that give out the money in Eritrea are part of the government and they need the hard currency sent from abroad. If we Eritreans and other African regions fighting dictatorships would start using Bitcoin, we'd take away the power of the government, because without money, they are nothing." - Meron Estefanos, Human rights activist
Background of Meron Estefanos General situation in Eritrea Human rights, living standards Military service and women’s situation Journeys and hardships of refugees Traffickers taking hostages How Meron got involved Using bitcoin as a means of payment Bitcoin compared to Western Union and Hawala Is there a solution to this horrible situation? How Meron copes with the depressing stories How the audience can support refugees and Meron’s work

With this week’s Tesla dismissing Bitcoin for its energy use and at the same time Elon Musk pumping the joke currency Doge another level of hypocrisy has been reached. We’re looking into why Elon Musk suddenly dismisses Bitcoin, how Tesla’s income relying on renewable energy credits, Elon Musk pumping Doge, and why Bitcoin doesn’t change to proof-of-stake?
With shout outs to Andreas M. Antonopoulos, John Carvalho and Gabriel Shipton on behalf of Julian Assange.

This episode was recorded on World Press Freedom Day 2021, the perfect date for a conversation with Gabriel Shipton, half-brother of Julian Assange. We are talking about the current state of Julian, who is the first publisher charged under the US espionage act and is awaiting further trials locked up in Belmarsh high security prison, the connections between WikiLeaks, journalism and Bitcoin and why and how Bitcoiners can support Julian's case.
The current state of Julian Assange WikiLeaks and the history of the charges The US against Julian Assange No extradition from the UK, but Belmarsh prison WikiLeaks achievements The blocking of WikiLeaks bank connections Bitcoin and WikiLeaks Press Freedom, quo vadis? No free internet without WikiLeaks and Bitcoin Call for support and donations
The prosecution of Julian Assange can be stopped, but we need your help. An easy way you can do something is by donating as much bitcoin as you can afford through our portal at the below link. Our goal is to raise 40 bitcoin to pay for the appeal and associated campaigning. Donations are totally legal/tax deductible and are made through the Germany-based not-for-profit Wau Holland Foundation.

Edan Yago is a neuroscientist and entrepreneur who turned his career around to focus on Bitcoin. He has been pivotal in establishing Sovryn one of the first Bitcoin-native DeFi platforms. We're talking about how a decentralized bitcoin trading and lending platform like Sovryn will create a new, open economic system that empowers individuals globally.
"The people that Bitcoiners hate the most are, shitcoiners, altcoiners, that's not really the enemy they are basically a gateway into the crypto space and in particular into the Bitcoin space. The real enemies I think, are going to be the centralized intermediaries to whom we give up our power. It's going to be the large exchanges, the lending platforms, the custodian platforms, because what their regulators are going help them is to persuade you that for convenience or for security, you should give up your Bitcoin. So that the only interesting property of Bitcoin, which is the sovereignty or self control is something you'd give up. And then if you're distracted by the price gains, you won't even notice." - Edan Yago
Topics: Why Edan Yago lived in a closet Why Bitcoin matters Advantages of Bitcoin DeFi to other blockchains NFTs are silly, but... The future of finance and self-sovereignty How decentralized lending works Sovryn's mission and innovations Governance without company structures

My guest is Abe Cambridge, the founder and CEO of Sun Exchange, the world’s first peer-to-peer solar leasing platform. We're discussing how to transition the world away from fossil fuels and towards solar power, the most deployable, affordable and accessible type of renewable energy. In combination with a decentralized money like Bitcoin it is possible to open up owning solar cells and earning from it to anyone for as little as 5 USD. Abraham Cambridge has an academic background in climate change science. Through his studies, it became alarmingly clear that climate change presents the most imminent threat to humanity.
"Sun Exchange allows micro ownership of the solar panels. And there were children in the Stellenbosch Waldorf school who were purchased solar panels by their parents. And they're earning Bitcoin once per month from them. So you've got kids who are growing up, earning Bitcoin, powering their own school and know that solar energy works." - Abe Cambridge
Topics: Abe Cambridge’s background Why Bitcoin matters Sun Exchange – peer-to-peer solar leasing platform How it works, achievements Future of solar power, costs, efficiency Bitcoin mining – an ecological problem? Nhimbe Fresh, the biggest crowdfunding in Africa so far

My guest is Andreas M. Antonopoulos, who has been one of my biggest inspirations on my Bitcoin journey. We are talking about Bitcoin the ultimate fairness system, why we need to strengthen privacy now, and the Bitcoin outlook for 2021. His talks have been inspiring and ensuring that is the space where my personal values and ethics find a place to work on something that is bigger than me, where I can contribute to changing the world to become a better place. Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a bitcoin and open blockchains educator, he coined the terms "Not your keys, not your coins" and "streaming money" and is the author of Mastering Bitcoin, the Internet of Money series and is currently working on the book Mastering the Lightning Network.
Our topics: Bitcoin, the fairness protocol The danger of changes to the consensus protocol Good bitcoin addresses, bad bitcoin addresses The propaganda of self-hosted wallets Fight for privacy Taproot activation, Schnorr signatures Doing Coinjoins, Wasabi, Samourai wallet Outlook for the Lightning Network 2021 Kraken implementing Lightning Phoenix, Breeze, Strike wallets Macro-outlook for Bitcoin in 2021
"Resisting isn't something that you do by breaking the law. Resisting is something you do by innovating to make the law irrelevant, obsolete, and ridiculous. Right. So how do you do that? By implementing consensus changes to the protocol, that strengthen privacy faster than they make changes. We need to strengthen privacy now, and fight back." - Andreas M. Antonopoulos

Today’s episode is the start of a new series about Bitcoin in Africa. I have been traveling to Zimbabwe and Botswana in February 2020 to find out if and how Bitcoin is known and used there. When I left the African continent at the beginning of March it was unclear how the pandemic is going to change the economical situation of countries that were already in a deep crisis like Zimbabwe or Nigeria and how it would affect the adoption of bitcoin in Subsaharan countries. With the upcoming episodes I want to give you insights into other African nations such as Senegal, Kenya, Ghana and South Africa. This episodes topic is Zimbabwe. My guest is Miss Aurra Kawanzaruwa. She is a digipreneur and the principal of St. Anne’s school in the country's capital Harare.
Topics:
Current situation in Zimbabwe Monetary repercussions Governments ban of EcoCash Shortages of basic supply goods Corruption and mismanagement Zimbabwean Lives Matter movement Coronavirus situation School shut down and distance learning Her first experience using bitcoin Translating "Bitcoin Money" book to Shona Getting into trouble for using Bitcoin How Zimbabweans use bitcoin

Todays guest is Gloria Zhao, she is a Bitcoin Core developer, former president of "Blockchain at Berkeley" and will finish her Computer Science studies at the end of 2020. We discuss how Bitcoin and blockchain technologies are seen by her fellow college students, why she chose to work on Bitcoin only instead of all the other Silicon Valley stuff and blockchain projects that are around.

Wondering what a Ponzi scheme is? Somebody told you Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme? Listen to this episode of “The Context” where I tell the story of Italian born confidence trickster Carlo Ponzi. In 1920 it took him only nine months to defraud thirty thousand investors, who believed in getting rich quick, collecting 9.6 million USD in total. Ponzi promised 50% return on their investment in three months. His arrest in August 1920 brought down six banks and Ponzi’s investors were practically wiped out. In 1957, the Encyclopedia Britannica – the Wikipedia of it’s time – formally acknowledged that Ponzi’s name had become synonymous with swindle. The “Ponzi scheme” officially had a name. In this podcast episode you will also hear the reasons, why Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme.

My guest is Douglas Bakkum. He is the Co-Founder and CEO of the Swiss hardware wallet manufacturer Shift Crypto. Douglas holds a Phd in neuroscience and shifted his career from starting a scientific research lab in academia to building a hardware wallet manufacturer at a time, when no hardware wallets existed on the market. Douglas saw a problem and the need for a solution and started the company together with bitcoin core maintainer Jonas Schnelli in 2015.
Shift Crypto is one of my sponsors, and after this conversation I have to say I am even more impressed with their work. The BitBox02 has some additional features that set it apart from the other hardware wallets in the market. Like the dual-chip approach. I did not know how that works before and as I want to have a general understanding of the concepts, his explanations strengthened my trust in this new technology even more.
Topics:
Robotics and artificial intelligence Parallels between academia and the start-up world Neuroscience, the brain and artificial intelligence Stress and routines to stay stable Launching SHIFT Crypto Trusting new technologies Bitcoin self-reliance, privacy and freedom How SHIFT handles user-data Gaining privacy with your hardware wallet Apple as tollgate What is more secure: using a hardware wallet on the desktop or on a mobile? How are hardware wallets more secure than software wallets? Paper wallets What is the dual-chip approach of the BitBox02 and how does it compare with Trezor and Ledger? What he would put on a giant ad on social media

Today I am talking with Liam Ball a real estate broker on Maui, who tells us his story of how he got into Bitcoin, why it is interesting to him, the parallels of Bitcoin to his personal journey and also my journey, his real life use cases with Bitcoin and why Bitcoin is real.
Bitcoin can allow person to person generosity over the entire planet. I think that’s an incredible thing. You’re taking these charitable organizations out of the middle and you’re just saying, I feel like being generous, here’s somebody who needs something and in 10 minutes they have it and it’s going right there. I think that’s amazing. – Liam Ball
I do like some of the the ethical changes or ideological changes that one tends to feel when you dive into the Bitcoin space. Things like responsibility and not entrusting third parties or governments. I like that aspect of encouraging humans to take responsibility for their situations in a self sovereign way but also in a community way. I think at the community level, where you live and helping people around you is really the best way to offer that kind of help. – Liam Ball

Todays guest is Dale Bewan. He is a married father of two, living in Germany. Since 2017 Bitcoin is the only money Dale is using. He does not own or hold any Fiat currency like Euros or US Dollars. We will talk about his motivation for doing so, how his wife and children deal with it, why he is using different identities, what LSD has to do with it, his Silkroad experiences, if he gets paid in Bitcoin and much more....
Topics: Therapeutical benefits of using LSD Was Satoshi on LSD? Pseudonyms and Identity on the internet Discovering Bitcoin His silliest bitcoin mistake Buying bitcoin to buy LSD on Silkroad Spend and replace tactic Tools he is using for going bitcoin only The Lightning Network and wallet analogies Basic privacy tools and tactics Linking Bitcoin to political ideas Bitcoin adoption in Germany, Australia, Tokyo
"2010, that's very early in the Bitcoin world, I discovered Bitcoin on a mailing list. It was probably one of the cypherpunk mailing lists, I downloaded it, I played with it, I mined some Bitcoin as far as I recall, I mined four blocks and then I made, what was probably the silliest mistake of my life, I said this isn't as interesting as "City at Home" so I deleted it. I thought why use my computing power to create these virtual coins I've got two hundred of them already [Laughter]." - Dale Bewan

Guy Swann is the host of the Bitcoin Audible podcast, where he is reading Bitcoin articles and essays by different authors. In 2011 Guy Swann found out about Bitcoin. Back then he used money he did not have to buy Bitcoin, just to watch it loosing it’s value in the following bear market. For him, this was not the moment for an exit, it was the moment, when he really started to investigate and learn what Bitcoin is.
Topics:
Why he started his podcast Bitcoin Audible His Bitcoin story The real value proposition of Bitcoin Digital scarcity The Bitcoin Reformation by Tuur Demeester Lightning as a global payments network The Bitcoin renaissance The agricultural revolution From decentralization to monopolies back to decentralization Bitcoin will change internet business models Coping with bull and bear markets What he would put inside an ad Filtering through Bitcoin information
I truly think that what we saw as changes from the printing press and the oil revolution may very well be an understatement of the potential impact that Bitcoin could have on the world when you’re looking out 30 to 50 years. And like you said earlier, it’s about having patience because we need to make sure that we don’t lose what makes this thing so revolutionary. – Guy Swann
Now that we finally have real value in the digital space and we can build open source permissionless payment systems and contract systems and ownership systems on top of this, I think it is going to change all of the models that we’re used to on the internet and open up access to so many things that just didn’t quite work before. – Guy Swann

Kai, a former software developer, is the product manager for the Card Wallet, that is produced by Coinfinity and the Austrian State Printinghouse. Coinfinity and Card Wallet are my longest standing loyal sponsors. I am very thankful for their support, but this did not change the questions I was asking. We are talking about their products, but also touch more general questions for instance bitcoin adoption in Austria and changes in the perception and trading volumes of bitcoin in the last months.
Topics: How he missed out on investing in bitcoin in 2011 The strong properties of Bitcoin The obstacles for newbies to use Bitcoin Security strategies The production processes behind the Card Wallet How Coinfinity takes care of customer data Bitcoin adoption in Austria The network of Bitcoin ATMs in Austria Changes in the bitcoin sales volume

Lina Kather from the crypto-exchange BTCBOX Japan in Tokyo invited Anita Posch to do an interview about her Bitcoin experiences in Africa, the reasons why she is doing the work she does, her takes on Altcoins, privacy, the importance of the Lightning Network and why she believes that Bitcoin will stay the world’s dominant cryptocurrency in the future.
“Bitcoin is here for 11 years now and it runs very reliable and it’s very secure in itself. The other system, the banking system, we have this for two or 300 years. We have gold for thousands of years. And, so people have also to see that they can trust in new technologies and new forms of money, like Bitcoin.” – Anita Posch
“I think that Bitcoin will stay the most dominant cryptocurrency in the world, because its roots are like grassroots, its networking effect, it has grown from some nerds who used it at the beginning, to a worldwide known money, this is huge without having a company behind it or any marketing money or something like that.” – Anita Posch

Lyn Alden wrote a longform article about the 3 reasons why she is investing in Bitcoin. Lyn Alden is an investment strategist with a background in engineering and finance. She focusses on value investing with a global macro overlay. Why are you bullish on Bitcoin? "The first reason is, that, Bitcoin has demonstrated that it has a pretty strong network effect over time. The second reason is the halving, most of the bullish price action of Bitcoin tends to happen in the first year or two after a halving. And then the final reason was the macro backdrop, it pretty much, couldn't be better for Bitcoin and also for things like silver and that's because with so much money printing with so much bailouts happening, if you look at it historically, just whenever debt levels reach this high, there's usually some sort of a macro economic event like a currency devaluation that happens over the subsequent decade." - Lyn Alden
When I first heard Lyn Alden speaking I immediately knew, that I wanted to have her on my show, because her insights are smart, concise and I learned a lot about the global and US specific economical situation. I think it is one of the best interviews so far on my show. I hope you can take as much away from it, as I did.
Our topics:
Her Bitcoin story Fitness and MMA The macro view on the economical situation The price to be the world reserve currency nation Reasons she is investing in Bitcoin Scarcity and network effect Why bitcoin is superior to altcoins Comparing Libra and gold to Bitcoin The thing nobody is talking about

My guest today is Andy Edstrom from Los Angeles. Andy spent 17 years in the investment world on Wall Street, working for Goldman Sachs and is now a wealth manager at his familiy’s firm West Cap Group. In the course of his consulting work, more and more people asked him about Bitcoin, that’s why he wrote a book about it called “Why Buy Bitcoin – Investing Today in the Money of Tomorrow“. Andy Edstrom recently took on the role of “Head of Institutional at Swan Bitcoin” and as always this interview is no financial advice, please do your own research.
“The banking industry has paid more penalties to regulators than any other industry and by a wide margin, right? It’s I think the figure in the book I have is something like $300 billion in fines paid within the last, I don’t know, a couple of decades, this is a staggering number.” – Andy Edstrom

Joining me is Elena Tonoyan, she is the Chief Operating Officer at LocalBitcoins, the peer to peer bitcoin exchange that was founded as early as in 2012. We are looking into the history of LocalBitcoins, it’s growth, and optimistic outlook for the years to come. You will also learn about the values and usecases of Bitcoin that Elena finds important, because they solve real problems and have a positive impact on peoples lives.
Our topics:
history and growth of LocalBitcoins financial inclusion esp. for women bitcoin demand in Africa, India, Latin America supporting altcoins fraud in trading integration of the Lightning network the future of Bitcoin Expanding business P2P exchanges vs. centralized exchanges
“Bitcoin provides financial inclusion. It is solving real world problems for many under-banked people across the globe, people who have limited access to a modern economy and empowering women is another big aspect for me. There are unfortunately still countries where women don’t have free access they are not allowed to open bank accounts without permission of, for example, a family member. And Bitcoin is obviously solving that problem. And I’m personally very happy about that.” – Elena Tonoyan
“I’m sure that during the coming years and decades, we will see several booms and busts in Bitcoin. However, what is important and what we believe is that the Bitcoin usage and adoption will continue to increase til unforeseeable future.” – Elena Tonoyan

My guest today is Gigi a software developer and computer scientist. Gigi wrote "21Lessons", a book in which he shares his learnings from falling down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. Two years ago he quit his job and started to work solely in the Bitcoin space.
"Bitcoin already has all three functions of money. It is a store of value, medium of exchange and unit of account. It's just not evenly distributed yet." - Gigi
"As I see Bitcoin evolve, I think it will be a global settlement layer for something approximating central banks. And since it's obviously superior to gold and every other form of money we had, like Bitcoin is by far the best money we ever had." - Gigi
Our topics include:
Building reputation in the Bitcoin space All mistakes he made How to educate people about Bitcoin The different entry points to Bitcoin Explaining scarcity The three functions of money Bitcoinization will happen in 10 years Lightning Network adoption and usability Why Bitcoin does not “move fast and break things” Current technical developments in Bitcoin Messaging on top of Bitcoin

"According to the view of the Austrian School of Economics, money is a spontaneous order, which is really linked in bottom up cooperation of people.

My guest in this episode is Tim Akinbo. He comes from Nigeria and is involved in the Bitcoin space since 2014. I got to know Tim when I asked for bitcoin donations for a school in Harare, Zimbabwe. He contacted me on Twitter and offered to setup a BTCpayserver so that we can receive lightning payments, too. That was of great help. I looked him up and realized that Tim is also a Bitcoin Core contributor, Software developer and has a lot of experience with e-commerce and international payments.
"I think from an individual perspective, Bitcoin will make it possible for people to really, really save, on the African continent." - Tim Akinbo
"I really have not been able to figure out, if any other Altcoin really has any use case, besides probably providing some avenue for a speculation, but in terms of real world use cases, I don't think that any of the so-called limitations of Bitcoin are strong enough to actually kind of overcome it's network effects and liquidity." - Tim Akinbo
Our topics: How he learned about Bitcoin His contribution to Bitcoin Core The use-cases for Bitcoin in Nigeria and Ghana Methods of payments in Nigeria His perspective on zimbo.cash Use-cases for Altcoins The deprecation of the Naira Bitcoin as a store of value for African people His new project to make full nodes in Africa visible

In this week's episode I had the pleasure to interview Amiti Uttarwar. She is as far as I know the first female engineer contributing to the Bitcoin Core code. Amiti is working full time as a Core developer, focusing on the peer to peer aspect of the protocol. Her latest contribution is a pull request that improves wallet privacy. I enjoyed our chat a lot, because Amiti has a clear and concise way to communicate which had even a calming effect on me. Maybe her daily meditation practice is the reason for that.
"I definitely hope that we move towards a Bitcoin ecosystem that involves more women. I think it's kind of absurd how few there currently are that I know about, in Bitcoin Core specifically. When I made my first contributions I didn't know of any women contributors. And I just think that that's ridiculous." - Amiti Uttarwar
"I definitely don't think right now, a particular group of people or a particular business entity has the ability to really have a disproportionate amount of influence on Bitcoin Core. But I also think, it would take a really big change that I can't really imagine how it would happen in order for that to be occurring in the future." - Amiti Uttarwar
We talk about How different forms of money form expectations The gift economy Why she chose bitcoin and not another “crypto” project Censorship resistance Why privacy is important What a PR is Influencing the direction of Bitcoin development Bitcoin Core releases Her educational comics How Bitcoin developers are getting paid Her message to women in Bitcoin Diversity in Bitcoin Meditation

Today's guest is Carla Kirk-Cohen she is a developer at Lightning Labs and is living in Cape Town in South Africa. Carla is building infrastructure around lightning nodes that makes it easier for people to run their own nodes at home.
"I was really drawn to the security model of Bitcoin, really interested and thinking, oh, this can't possibly work. There must be some way that it breaks. And then going back and learning a bit more and realizing how incredible the entire system actually is. For me Bitcoin is really about self determination. I think the ability to take back control over your financial situation is a really powerful thing and it's a really interesting thing because it's something that's never been possible until Bitcoin existed." - Carla Kirk-Cohen
"That 21 million that will never change and is finite really does ensure value of Bitcoin through scarcity and that I think is the most important feature and just fundamental to the entire system." - Carla Kirk-Cohen
Our topics: Her career in the Bitcoin space What Bitcoin means to her The 21 million hard cap The Lightning Network Lightning infrastructure projects Loop, Faraday, Multipath payments Privacy in the Lightning Network The Bitcoin community in South Africa Lightning Wallets How to become a Bitcoin and Lightning developer

Our topic today is all about Bitcoin wallets and their security. I am talking with Leo Wandersleb a german developer living in Chile, who is the founder of a project called Wallet Scrutiny. The goal of his project is to avoid exit scams through the verifiability of the wallet source code.
"The goal of Wallet Scrutiny is to avoid exit scams and to avoid major flaws that would make all the users of a certain wallet vulnerable to some back doors that get injected by the provider or by somebody who has a means to add an attack through maybe some libraries that are used in that wallet, et cetera." - Leo Wandersleb
Why he started Wallet Scrutiny His take on Bitcoin as the major cryptocurrency How bitcoin wallets are built The importance of a verifiable source code Anonymity and transparency in respect to security Why hardware wallets are the most secure wallets Bitcoin fee estimation

Today I am talking with Tuur Demeester, who recommended Bitcoin as an investment to his readers at $5 back in 2012. I would say Tuur is a philosopher with a greater perspective and an historical approach to today's developments. We discuss his findings in his paper "The Bitcoin Reformation". Published that at the end of 2019 he is drawing comparisons between the Dutch reformation in the 16th century and the emergence of Bitcoin in this century. This bring us to discuss COVID 19 and Tuur's thoughts about the impact of this crisis on the Bitcoin reformation.
Topics: The similarities between the Dutch reformation and Bitcoin Who is profiting from the current financial system The Catholic church and Central Banks as rent-seeking monopolies Differences between the schools of Keynes and Austrian Economics Bitcoin lending Attacks on Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash Money as a language The growing risk of hyperinflation Interest rate is the price of money His take on liquid and accessible assets in the future

The fourth part of the six-part series about Bitcoin in Africa is an interview with a young woman from Harare. She calls herself a Digipreneur and is working as a teacher, too. With her organization that is focused on the digitalization of Africa, she aims to bring Zimbabwe forward. As the use of Bitcoin is outlawed and the state of human rights and free speech is rather poor in Zimbabwe, we agreed to not mention her name. We are talking about:
“If I have a Bitcoin, I can send money to my relatives, who are in Malawi or in Namibia or in Ghana. Currently I can’t with our own currency. I can’t send money out freely and quickly, but if we can sit down as a community and say okay, we need to buy a new borehole and we can do that just by using our phone. That’s an amazing thing. You know, if we look at it from a place of development, if you look at it from a place of helping the community and taking care of each other, if it allows us to take care of each other without having to create so many barriers and so much red tape to get stuff done with money, I feel like when you change that narrative, you speak to something very deep within an African.” – Teacher and Digipreneur, Zimbabwe

This is the 2nd episode of a six-part series about Bitcoin in Africa. In February 2020, right before the start of quarantine and travel restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, I travelled Zimbabwe and Botswana to get a picture from the ground about the usage of bitcoin in these countries. Zimbabwe and Venezuela are very ofted named as countries where bitcoin could be making a difference, in supporting people's economic situation. I wanted to see by myself, if this is true and in how far bitcoin is known and used there.
In the first episode you learned about the current living situation of Zimbabweans and the countrys political history, which paints a picture about why things are how they are as well as the state of human rights and free speech. In this episode you will get to know the multi-currency world, the different forms and usages of money as well as the price fluctuations that Zimbabweans are dealing with day by day. We also take a look at the current regulations of cryptocurrencies and the usage of mobile payments and internet connections.

My guests in this episode are Patrik Tjokorda, Josef Tětek and Tomas Marada, we met at the Hackers Congress in Prague. They are working on a project called DEBNK. Their goal is to build global peer banking on top of the bitcoin settlement layer. This trustless third layer on top of bitcoin will be able to store different assets and can make stablecoins obsolete. We talk about how this will be implemented, the use cases they see and about volatility and price discovery in bitcoin, the block subsidy, the halving and bitcoin in the Czech Republic. At the moment the development team is looking for grants to bootstrap the MVP, the minimal viable product. Patrik and Tomas just launched a bitcoin quant fund www.hedge.capital, that will also serve as funding vehicle for DEBNK later on.
We talk about
bitcoin will change how we cooperate as a society 3rd layer on bitcoin - financialisation of bitcoin storing different asset on bitcoin infrastructure accounting assets on top of lightning channels CFD contract for difference: Usecase derivatives No need for stablecoins Volatility and price discovery in bitcoin PlanB, Stock to flow BAKKT, derivatives space Opting out of the system with bitcoin today Personal privacy practises "Bitcoins security budget is adequat for now" Block subsidy and halving Transaction density and Lightning Network Bitcoin in the Czech Republic

The Bitcoin & Co. podcast is a bitcoin-only show that's focusing on the why of Bitcoin. Why is it important for humanity, what are the implications from a privacy perspective, how are we able to grow this space together, what are the visions of the people who drive the Bitcoin space. I want to look behind the scenes and take you with me on this journey.
Sometimes my guests are rather critical about bitcoin, which I think, is a good thing. Bitcoiners tend to be full of hopium and forget to look for possible downsides. But only with critical thinking, things can be improved. Todays guest is Smuggler, a cryptoanarchist I met at the Hackers Congress in Prague. We had a wide ranging conversation about cryptoanarchy, privacy, technology and democracy and he shares some - at least in the Bitcoin space - unpopular opinions about Bitcoin. I think it is a great conversation, which is why it is longer than usual.
"Decisions should be made where the highest effect is to be felt." - Smuggler
"Cryptography is better for honest people, than for dishonest people." - Smuggler
We talk about: Nation States, corporations, politicians and power Cryptography and dangers of technology His vision of the future Alternatives to the state and the market Bitcoin governance Scrit Cash Privacy and mass surveillance Pseudonoums societies Dark nets and the dark web Anonymity and civility How to be not mass surveillanced IP intelligence

Jameson Lopp, is very well known in the Bitcoin space for his wide expertise on security, technology and privacy. He is maintaining and curating a Bitcoin resources page with links to valuable information on Bitcoin and since his house was swatted by police in 2017 after an unknown attacker reported a false hostage situation, he is a cypherpunk at heart. Jameson is the CTO at Casa, a company devoted to providing products for personal sovereignty.
"Bitcoin can’t be dead, until we all agree that it is dead and it is so widely distributed now." - Jameson Lopp
Topics:
Money is language Byzantine generals problem Security of Bitcoin Why full nodes are important Trust and reputation When should I sell? Is Bitcoin dying because ____? On Bitcoin being built by the NSA, FBI On becoming a cypherpunk Privacy and fungibility Tainted coins Facebook and Libra A bitcoin miner in every household The Casa node, the keymaster app and the seedless setup Personal sovereignty His vision for Bitcoin
"The game of just speculating is a waste of time and it’s not adding a lot of value to the system." - Jameson Lopp
"We need to have a very solid user friendly foundation of security, if we want average people, who don’t live, eat and breathe Bitcoin all day long to be able to do this. They need to be as confident with their bitcoin wallet as they are with the money in their bank, so we still have a long way to go for that." - Jameson Lopp

Richard Myers is the product engineer for txTenna, a project that extends the range for sending and receiving bitcoin transactions over the Blockstream bitcoin satellites and a mesh network. This basically enables using Bitcoin without internet connection. He presented the project together with Adam Back at the Magical Crypto Conference in May 2019. In the podcast interview we go deeper into the ideas and philosophy behind his interest in Bitcoin and how the mesh network allows for more privacy in financial transactions with Bitcoin.
Quotes by Richard Myers: “Having privacy in your financial transactions is a human right and Bitcoin gives you the ability to enforce that right in a peaceful way.” | “They deputized the banking system as a law enforcement organisation.” | “Everything the cypherpunks worried about has come to pass.” | “Not you keys, not your coins, but its also not your privacy either.”
