In this episode we have a very special guest returning to our podcast: Erik Cason - Bitcoin philosopher, crypto-anarchist, cypherpunk and good friend of the show. Erik is with us in person this time, recorded at Baltic Honeybadger 2023, to take walk through history, philosophy, politics, Bitcoin and more.

In this episode, we talk about Erik’s views on Cryptosovereignty, the topic of his book of the same name. We also draw parallels between the atomic bomb and the risks that AI poses, we reflect on the transformative power of Bitcoin and its ability to create a community; we discuss progressivism and conservativism in the bitcoin community and investigate the conjunction of cryptography and bitcoin. It’s always great to talk to Erik, this time was no exception!
