In this episode we talk to Erik Cason: Bitcoin philosopher, Crypto-anarchist, cypherpunk and author of numerous essays on the ramifications of bitcoin.

We discuss so many topics: from philosophy, history and politics, to praxeology and religion; and thanks to Erik we’ll explore them through the lens of cryptography. This is a packed episode!
