PRIVACY, FREEDOM & NOSTR with UNCLE ROCKSTAR (THE Bitcoin Podcast)

"When Cypherpunks wrote that privacy is necessary in order to establish democratic society in digital age, that's a profound statement, because you do look at states in which people do not have privacy, they can't have freedom in the digital age." On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with UNCLE ROCKSTAR. We discuss the political landscape, the importance of privacy in the digital age, and the role of developers in creating freedom tech, the impact of social media algorithms on discourse, the potential of Nostr as a privacy-preserving protocol for open source development, and the necessity of building parallel systems to foster individual sovereignty.
