Summary
Sal and Wayne Quinn are holding it down this week while Mark is on the road. Kurt Walker Jr., the world's first Bitcoin historian, joins the show to trace the full arc of crypto from David Chaum's eCash in the nineties all the way through the block size wars, the Silk Road takedown, and the deliberate hijacking of Bitcoin by banking interests tied to Jeffrey Epstein, Blockstream, and the Bilderberg group. If you think you know the history of Bitcoin, this conversation will change that. Sal and Wayne also break down decentralized identity, what it is, why it matters, and why a working version could be less than two years away. The conversation covers how blockchain based identity could replace government issued IDs, eliminate impersonation scams, and give individuals genuine control over what information they share and with whom. Mark's interview with Jay Noone of JayNoone.com rounds out the episode, covering life on a New Hampshire homestead, Man Camp, EMP proof vehicles, and why building a community of useful, valuable, and competent people is the real path to freedom.
