The Tatiana Moroz Show!

Peter Todd is a man known throughout the crypto community, and yet, barely has a bio listed about himself. He has been interviewed hundreds of times, so I wanted to take a different approach.  I have always known Peter socially, but while I recognize his technical contributions, I have to say our conversation around abortion, immigration, and other such controversial topics kept me pretty entertained during our in depth interview at Tone Vays’ Unconfiscatable event!  I can’t say his views are conventional, you may not agree, he may be trolling, but this is one of the most boisterous interviews I have done yet on the Tatiana Show. Don’t listen if you are easily offended, and if you are, oh well. This is a bit uncensored! About the Guests: Peter Todd is a Bitcoin enthusiast and expert, consultant and leading developer related to cryptocurrency and blockchain software at Bitcoin Core, which is considered to be the official client application for operations with Bitcoin.

Show Transcription Here Giacomo is a very respected member of the Bitcoin community, but I know him as a super funny guy that’s really fun to be around in a conference.  He has me in stitches every time we hang out, reminding me that in fact, the Italians are the best and I wish I was over there now having pasta and a laugh.  Seems like the crypto community in Italy, while somewhat small, is also lively.

Josh and I spoke to Emily about the evolution of ShapeShift over the past few years, to include their vision going forward.   We also talked about a docuseries called “Down the Rabbit Hole,” which I was featured in.  It is an interesting look at the people in bitcoin and not just technical talk. Emily was most excited about how the series has attracted talented people from outside the crypto industry.  Her insights into the marketing landscape sparked conversation about the emergence of bitcoin into the mainstream at the end of 2017.

Schaeffer Cox is a political prisoner, held in an illegal US prison called a CMU in Indiana.  In 2011, he was convicted and sent to one of the world’s most inhumane prisons. Although one of the main charges was dropped in August of 2017, he still remains in prison.  My guest Jordan Page, a singer-songwriter and musician, co-wrote “The Persecution of Schaeffer Cox” to bring awareness to this injustice and raise funds for his defense. Jordan shares the song with us at the end of our discussion. Jordan began writing politically bent music during the Bush administration at the end of 2008.

Scott and Ryan have been composing music together in the spirit of liberty since 2015.  I was lucky enough to meet them along the way in my journey, and have a great respect for artists that realize the need for a touch of freedom in the message.  It can be so powerful, as evidenced by Scott and Ryan’s work.
