Introduction

This week's episode of HAT is set on a boat. The 245 meter long cruise ship has gone by many different names. It was first delivered to Princess Cruises in 1991 from the Italian shipyard where it was built. They named the boat after Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous author of the Bitcoin White Paper. A handful of people are attempting to start a new crypto-centric libertarian nation at sea off the coast of Panama.
