The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

087: The Genesis of Bitcoin: The Man Who May Have Inspired The Creation Of Bitcoin – Paul Rosenberg


Listen Later

In today's episode of Expat Money Show, I'm going to interview Paul Rosenberg. Paul has been deeply engaged with cryptography and cryptography-based projects since the first cypherpunk era. He wrote the highly influential book A Lodging of Wayfaring Men, as well as Production Versus Plunder.
 
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
  • Paul Rosenberg: Featured on LewRockwell.com, Zero Hedge, RT, Expat World, International Man, Freedom Fest, and more.
  • Visionary Work: Known for predicting trends; wrote about digital currency in the 90s in his book "A Lodging For Wayfaring Men," which some believe inspired Bitcoin.
  • Career Background: Started in construction, electrical, and business; taught courses; became involved in the cryptography movement.
  • Cryptography Discussion: Explanation of cryptography, its applications, and importance in secure communication.
  • Early Involvement in Cryptography: Paul’s journey into cryptography in 1993, his mentors, and the evolution of the field.
  • Current Events: Discussion on Hong Kong uprising, Brexit, Coronavirus, trade war, and the US election year.
  • Libertarian Views: Mikkel and Paul discuss the growth of libertarianism and the original vision of the US government.
  • Economic Impact of Coronavirus: Concerns about the economic consequences, supply chain issues, bailouts, and support for individuals.
  • Future Considerations: Topics like Jurisdictional Arbitrage and Perpetual Traveller, and potential societal changes.

      CONCLUSION
      Every podcast I do I learn something new and exciting. Today was no different. I thought I understood what Cryptography and cryptocurrencies were. Truthfully, I learned a ton of really valuable information today. You just have to listen to Paul Rosenberg's thoughts and ideas. I know you'll love it as much as I did.
      Also, I really encourage all of you to get Paul's book: Lodging of Wayfaring Men. It was written long before it was published, and I know you'll see things just a little differently after you're done.
