POV Crypto - Emergency Mass Livestream in Market Turmoil

'&oelig;The legacy of our civilization is a state based on a hierarchical system of control and specialization of labor, which leads to all of the modern problems we have. To create a different kind of society, that's free, where people have liberty and natural wealth, the emerging field of cryptography offers us power."-Amir TaakiWith markets around the world plunging into a downward spiral, now is a great time to revisit the original reasons why people started working on Bitcoin.Amir Taaki was one of Bitcoin's first-ever dedicated developers and perhaps the one most infamously focused on maintaining privacy and freedom from authority. In 2014, Taaki created Dark Wallet, the first privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet to include a CoinJoin mixer. That same year, he received even more notoriety as Dark Wallet was twice named in the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) report on the potential money-laundering and terrorist-financing risks posed by cryptocurrencies. In this episode, Dave Hollerith talks with Taaki, who after years spent working with the Syrian Democratic Forces fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and helping build their society, is now contributing to multiple cryptocurrency and privacy projects not yet revealed to the public.Taaki takes a critical, perhaps unwarranted, view on the Bitcoin movement of today, but he also has a valuable perspective on many of the topics covered.Topics:<ul><li>What Bitcoiners can learn from the Free Software movement</li><li>How Bitcoin has changed between 2014 and today, and why Taaki believes the ecosystem needs to create a new narrative.</li><li>The pros and cons of American startup culture on Bitcoin's development</li><li>How Taaki' opposing views of Bitcoin led to conflict with Gavin Andresen, and later the creation of the BIP system.</li><li>How Taaki believes the Bitcoin of today is not radical enough</li><li>The limits of mesh networks at a large scale</li><li>Why Bitcoin needs a stronger narrative to defend against co-option by larger corporate and state entities.</li><li>What Bitcoiners can learn from Taaki's experience helping build an autonomous free society in Syria</li><li>The narrative the Bitcoin ecosystem needs to adopt according to Taaki</li><li>Nym, the Barcelona hacker academy and Taaki's other unpublicized projects</li><li>The similarities and limits of comparing Bitcoin to religion.</li></ul>Resources:<ul><li><a href="https://soundcloud.com/mindtomatter/ltb-e265-classic-exploring-bitcoin-with-amir-taaki">Amir Taaki on LTB 265 (2014)</a></li><li><a href="https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/coinjoins-first-steps-how-dark-wallet-paved-the-way-for-a-more-private-bitcoin">How Dark Wallet Paved The Way For A More Private Bitcoin</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy">Unix philosophy</a></li><li><a href="https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/amir-taaki-on-bitcoin-and-building-dissident-technology-in-2020">Amir Taaki on Bitcoin and Building Dissident Technology in 2020</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rojava_conflict">The Rojava movement</a></li><li><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/entries/5a7b18b5-0ec3-3d3e-a307-54820a7c6a59">Anarchy in Kurdistan</a></li></ul>Twitter:<ul><li><a href="https://twitter.com/Narodism">Amir Taaki</a> (@Narodism)</li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/DsHollers">Dave</a> (@dshollers)</li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine">Bitcoin Magazine</a></li></ul>Sponsors:<ul><li><a href="http://partners.etoro.com/A81727_TClick_SBitcoinMag.aspx">Etoro</a></li></ul>DISCLAIMER: The following content is for informational purposes only.

Amir Taaki on What Drives Bitcoin's Dissident Narrative

Location: SkypeDate: Saturday, 29th February Project: Castle Island VenturesRole: PartnerWelcome to the Beginner's Guide to Bitcoin.Bitcoin can be intimidating for beginners. The protocol is complicated, the community can be aggressive and unforgiving, silly mistakes can lose you money, and it is easy to succumb to altcoin marketing. Bitcoin does though, offer you the opportunity to hold a new type of monetary asset, one which can't be seized by the government and is censorship resistance and It has the potential to change the way the world. The goal of What Bitcoin Did has always been about making things simple; there are no stupid questions, and the show is here to help beginners navigate this new world. To kick off 2020, we are launching a special series to help beginners understand Bitcoin. We will be looking at the basics from breaking down the protocol to explaining the economics and discussing the potential societal shift. Beginner's Guide Part 15 - Bitcoin FUD with Nic CarterBitcoin is a peculiar beast, and as with any new technology, it takes some time to understand it and its potential impact on the world. While Bitcoin media reporting is improving, there are still lots of untruths and myths that are perpetuated by mainstream media. Further, competing projects, anti-Bitcoin proponents and the uneducated add to the confusion by repeating false accusations.Blanket statements such as "Bitcoin is only used by terrorists, criminals and money launderers" or "proof of work is wasteful and uses as much energy as X country", continue to cast a shadow over the technology. Bitcoin is still a relatively new form of digital money, the likes of which the world has never seen, as such, it is easy to be misled by outdated or poorly formed arguments. '&oelig;Bitcoin isn't backed by anything' is another commonly used argument, which fails to recognise that neither is fiat currency and is printed at will, whereas Bitcoin has a fixed supply.In this interview, I am joined by Nic Carter, a partner at Castle Island Ventures, and we discuss and dispel the myths, untruths and FUD that Bitcoin faces.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheDailyBitcoinShow/~4/hlimgYRG5GE" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>
