    I’ve admire and respect Peter McCormack’s hustle - he ramped up What Bitcoin Did quickly to become one of, if not the I think, most downloaded Bitcoin podcast. He’s been generous when I’ve asked him for some advice on growing the podcast, how to approach finding sponsors, etc. It’s been interesting to watch him evolve into a full on Bitcoiner over the past couple years. And now he’s diving headfirst into filmmaking as part of his new project, Defiance. It was fun to catch up with Pete, hope you all enjoy the conversation.Citizen Bitcoin on TwitterCitizen Bitcoin PodcastCitizen Bitcoin Layer One merch collectionBitcoiner's BestMusic: Moon in the Sky by HobotekLinks from the episode:What Bitcoin DidDefiance PodcatPeter on Twitter

    John Vallis is one of my very favorite Bitcoin podcasters. I just love his style and his broad knowledge base. I had a great time chatting with John on his podcast, Bitcoin Rapid Fire, last year. I knew this was going to be a fun one and it didn’t disappoint. We talk about John’s background, get his rabbit hole story and we dive down the psychedelics rabbit hole - LSD, mushrooms and DMT - then we bring it back to bitcoin for a hyper cosmic conclusion to the ep.Citizen Bitcoin on TwitterCitizen Bitcoin PodcastCitizen Bitcoin Layer One merch collectionBitcoiner's BestMusic: Moon in the Sky by HobotekLinks from the episode:Bitcoin Rapid Fire podcastJohn on Twitter

    Dr. Adam Back is a cypherpunk pioneer. His work on hashcash is cited in the Bitcoin whitepaper and, lesser known among bitcoiners, but just as cool, his work on telescoping circuits is cited in the TOR white-paper. These are among many more contributions to the field of applied cryptography. In this episode we discuss cypherpunk history, bitcoin’s history and future, bitcoin privacy and Adam gives us an overview of the state of bitcoin tech.
