TODAY'S SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Juraj Bednár, an OG Crypto anarchist and entrepreneur active in the Bitcoin and hacking communities.

Together they discuss censorship of certain Bitcoin transactions such as coinjoin, what would happen if a group of censoring mining pools would exceed 50% of the hash rate, how Monero’s total fungibility gives centralized actors deniability when questioned by the government compared to Bitcoin, possible solutions to Bitcoin’s fees and scaling problems, whether Bitcoin is living up to its crypto Anarchist roots and more!
