The author of the incredible work we covered last week, Bitcoin: Sovereignty Through Mathematics, joins us on the show today to talk all about the foundations of his thinking, what sovereignty really means, why we should question our monetary priests, whether we are living in an Orwellian nightmare, or the new renaissance, human inability to understand complex systems, the gullible collective, & why we should all be more "posimistic."

Is it the miners? The developers? The nodes? Who really defines Bitcoin, who establishes the rules that make it immutable, secures it against unwanted change, and determines the protocol that distinguish a random integer, from a true Bitcoin integer? A great piece by John Carvalho. One of the most succinct explanations on defining Bitcoin without any unnecessary technical confusion. A necessity for the Cryptoconomy Audio Library, and a wonderful follow up to the recent BTC vs BSV debate on the Hotep Jesus show.
