The co-hosts interview David Golumbia, author of The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right-Wing Extremism. They discuss cyber-libertarian ideology and how the rise of Bitcoin has made it mainstream. David argues that many supposedly non-ideological Bitcoin enthusiasts have been influenced by cyber-libertarianism. He and the co-hosts also discuss what Bitcoin is, whether it is money, whether it is decentralized, and blockchain technology. David fact-checks and theory-checks a good deal of the nonsense said about Bitcoin. The episode’s current-events segment is on the Ukraine Solidarity Campaign’s statement of solidarity with the people of Ukraine against Russian imperialism.
