Episode notes
INSIGHT

Centralization Vs Censorship Resistance

  • Centralized platforms are vulnerable to government pressure and can censor large swaths of speech.
  • Nostr and decentralized protocols provide censorship-resistant communication but don't solve state coercion or deanonymization risks.
ADVICE

Build Time-Delayed Inheritance Vaults

  • Use Miniscript-based multisig templates to create recoverable inheritance vaults with time-decay access.
  • Configure decay thresholds so heirs can access funds after a set idle period without sacrificing short-term security.
INSIGHT

Tech Alone Won't Stop State Coercion

  • Decentralized platforms help preserve speech but don't prevent governments from penalizing speakers.
  • Technical solutions must be paired with cultural and operational practices to reduce deanonymization risk.
