Austin E. Alexander is working for the office of the CEO at Kraken. He joined Kraken at the end of 2013. Back then, Kraken had only 20 to 30 employees. Today it is one of the biggest and most respected crypto exchanges in the world. I met Austin at several bitcoin conferences and at the Baltic Honeybadger in Riga in October, we finally sat down to chat about his career and the developments in the bitcoin space since 2011. In 2013 he was co-founding the Bitcoin Center New York with Nick Spanos. He talks about how enthusiastically they have built the center and about the problems they ran into in the dawn of the Bit License. We also discuss his learnings in 2019 while visiting Uganda, Somalia, South Africa and Zimbabwe and much more.

“In retrospect we’ll see that bitcoin has grown exponentially.” – Austin E. Alexander

“I would have never imagined that bitcoin is this big this quickly.” – Austin E. Alexander

“Bitcoin is going to change how we consume.” – Austin E. Alexander

The Bitcoin & Co. podcast is a bitcoin-only show that’s focusing on the why of Bitcoin. Why is it important for humanity, what are the implications from a privacy perspective, how are we able to grow this space together, what are the visions of the people who drive the Bitcoin space. I want to look behind the scenes and take you with me on this journey.

Sometimes my guests are rather critical about bitcoin, which I think, is a good thing. Bitcoiners tend to be full of hopium and forget to look for possible downsides. But only with critical thinking, things can be improved. Todays guest is Smuggler, a cryptoanarchist I met at the Hackers Congress in Prague. We had a wide ranging conversation about cryptoanarchy, privacy, technology and democracy and he shares some – at least in the Bitcoin space – unpopular opinions about Bitcoin. He also shares some methods to escape mass surveillance on your phone and computer. I think it is a great conversation, which is why it is longer than usual.

“Cryptography is better for honest people, than for dishonest people.” – Smuggler

“Decisions should be made where the highest effect is to be felt.” – Smuggler

We talk about:

Thanks to Paralelni Polis for the picture of Smuggler.

Jameson Lopp is very well known in the Bitcoin space for his wide expertise on security, technology and privacy. He is maintaining and curating a Bitcoin resources page with links to valuable information on Bitcoin and since his house was swatted by police in 2017 after an unknown attacker reported a false hostage situation, he is a cypherpunk at heart. Jameson is the CTO at Casa, a company devoted to providing products for personal sovereignty.

“Bitcoin can’t be dead, until we all agree that it is dead and it is so widely distributed now.” – Jameson Lopp

“The game of just speculating is a waste of time and it’s not adding a lot of value to the system.” – Jameson Lopp

“We need to have a very solid user friendly foundation of security, if we want average people, who don’t live, eat and breathe Bitcoin all day long to be able to do this. They need to be as confident with their bitcoin wallet as they are with the money in their bank, so we still have a long way to go for that.” – Jameson Lopp

“Regret is thinking you’re late. Gratitude is thinking you’re early. It’s still early to get Bitcoin.”, says Jimmy Song. He is a bitcoin educator, developer, entrepreneur, a lover of cowboy hats and boots and, as you can see on Twitter, a philosopher. He is the author of “Programming Bitcoin” and a co-author of “The Little Bitcoin Book“. I sat down to have a chat with him at the Baltic Honeybadger conference in Riga.
