Andrew, a former fiat slave, now a carnivorous bitcoin zealot. Andrew is the author of a daily letter called Bitcoin Unlocked (highly recommend that you subscribe to it), where he dives deeply into the transformational nature of bitcoin and how he believes it changes the game from incentivising short-term zero-sum games, flipping the board on its head to a world where the path of least resistance is to play long-term win-win games instead. Learn more about Andrew in episode 059

During this conversation, we discussed, 

- transition from analog to digital is a paradigm shift.

- as we move in deeper into the digital age, we are loosing fundamental rights that we have always had, and this needs to be rejected.

- the idea that privacy could be considered criminal must be rejected.

- to be free, you must have the ability to be private.

- Do the tools just need to improve dramatically to improve our ability to maintain privacy at scale?

- trade off between privacy and convenience.

- understand why your privacy matters.

- we are headed toward a digital panopticon if we do not prioritise privacy

- the journey toward better online privacy is exactly that. It can be overwhelming. Take small steps.

- what are Zero Days?, what is a Faraday bag?, how to host on your own servers and importance of having a separate computer for your Bitcoin transactions.
