Today we are joined by Jameson Lopp – privacy expert, technologist, cypherpunk, co-founder and CTO of Casa, and more. Jameson is a guru in all things privacy and building tools that empower individuals. This was a rich conversation about privacy, self-sovereignty, Jameson’s experience disappearing into ultimate privacy after a swatting experience, the future of technologies like bitcoin, nostr, and more. I think these types of conversations are really important for folks to begin to understand, and how folks on the left who value human freedom and humanitarian issues may see the value in these tools and methods that empower and protect individuals. You can follow Jameson’s work at https://www.lopp.net/

Today we are joined by Margot Paez, climate change physicist and fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute. Margot has a lot of wisdom on politics of the left, the occupy movement, journalism, freedom, doing the right thing in life, bitcoin and the environment and so much more. As one of the orginal core members of progressives in bitcoin, Margot remembers when this podcast first started and was an integral part of encouraging and support The Progressive Bitcoiner.

This one is for the progressive bitcoiners, the left of center folks who are skeptical of bitcoin, and those on the right who may be skeptical of the left, and the rich history of libertarianism and anarchism from the left. Enjoy!
