Show Notes
I talk with G Sovereignty, a Bitcoiner based in Hong Kong and developing applications on Nostr as well as host of the Nostrovia Podcast.
We talk about a presentation that G gave titled Bitcoin vs. The State: Four Phases of War, exploring the power dynamics of Bitcoin, its security model, and the steps that the state may enact as it begins to comprehend the true implications of Bitcoin upon its exorbitant privileges.
We also discuss the future of Bitcoin-powered economies and what these might look like.
I do recommend you check out G’s video presentation in the show notes if you get the chance, its only about 15 minutes, but I found it very insightful.
