Adam Back: Bitcoin's Past and Future
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. This was a great one, hope you all enjoy it.

John Vallis: Bitcoin + Psychedelics = Hypercosmic
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.
