The Bitcoin Podcast Network

Cryptocurrency wallet Samourai Wallet has released an update which removes fiat currency balances in a move it says stops users using Bitcoin with a “crutch.” The boys talk about that, among other things and invite Brock Pierce back on the show! It's been a good three years since we joins us for a conversation and we play catch up as we ask him various questions about his stance in this crypto space, and his humanitarian efforts - post Maria. Hurricane Maria was one of the worst natural disasters in US history, devastating the island of Puerto Rico and destroying the entire power grid. Cryptocurrency entrepreneurs have been storming in, promising they have the technology to rebuild. Brock is leading the charge and we get the scoop!

Anonymity is dead... or so you thought. Marrying the technologies behind onion routing and Monero, the Loki network enables a private cryptocurrency and messaging service that hides information down to the network layer. This fascinating approach scales its privacy mechanism in the same way that Tor does and incentives those who run Loki service nodes through their Proof of Service mechanism. Tools like this keep your transactions and traffic private from any spying eyes and makes it increasingly difficult to leverage your network data as a means to track your activity.

Revolutionary! On this episode we have the brilliant Dr. Gün Sirer to whet our appetites for Avalanche, a new category of consensus protocol.

We learn about his new coin, Ava, which will test the limits of Avalanche's public consensus on a global scale! The future is exciting!
