Usually, Bitgenstein’s Table discusses philosophy, history, economics, or psychology. Today, it’s a different kind of podcast.

In one future, open blockchain has pushed transparency global. Everything is accountable, everything is trackable, everything is open.

In the other, blockchain also dominates - but with privacy tech. GDPR was only the start.

Two short stories explore what life in these worlds might be like. They’re absurd enough to be fun, but they’re also thought experiments.

Last week we talked about transparency and privacy, with Peepeth, Dtube, Monero, Zcoin, PIVX, DASH, and more making appearances.

Next week, we’ll take a break from privacy & permanency to feature a guest from Nexus (NXS), but soon “Heresy, Privacy & Censorship 3” will be back to explore ways we might find balance.
