Bitcoin Builders

Max Hillebrand is the CEO of ckSNACKs - the company that sponsors the development of the Wasabi Wallet. He describes himself as a "free software entrepreneur building Bitcoin weapons." On this episode we explore exactly what that means; where philosophy and ethics meet entrepreneurship; the state of bitcoin privacy; and what's left to build on Bitcoin.
