Sal & Mark - EP8

from Free Talk Live · host Libertarian, Voluntarist, Anarchist, Freedom & Liberty Loving Activists

Dan from Pirate Chain joins the show to break down what makes Pirate Chain the most private cryptocurrency by any objective measure, what is coming with the new Unified Light Wallet, and why the project avoided the Zcash Orchard vulnerability entirely. Firo project steward Ruben Yap also weighs in with a detailed and honest breakdown of what actually happened with the Zcash exploit and what it means for the future of privacy protocol design. Sal and Mark also get into Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire, why the left fundamentally misunderstands wealth, and the economics of hoarding money in a way that will make your head spin. Then the show pivots to a genuinely alarming development: the UK's sweeping social media ban requiring facial recognition, banking data, or ID to access platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Sal and Mark break down why this has nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with building a digital ID infrastructure for mass surveillance, and what tools you can use right now to fight back.
