Retaining Bitcoin's Cypherpunk Values in a World of Encroaching Financialization w/Obi Nwosu (Fedi)
As institutions flood into bitcoin, many wonder whether the movement is losing the cypherpunk values that made it revolutionary. Moderator Aaron van Wirdum leads Bruce Fenton, Obi Nwosu, and Andrej Majcen through a debate on privacy, censorship resistance, and the rising power of centralized custodians. They explain why bitcoin without privacy becomes indistinguishable from surveillance money and why self-sovereignty must remain at the center.#Cypherpunk #BitcoinPrivacy #SelfSovereignty
