with Aaron van Wirdum · SLP544

Aaron van Wirdum rejoins me to talk about his exploration of how Bitcoin came to be. We talk about his new book, The Genesis Book. In this book, Aaron explores some of the technologies, and philosophies that led to the creation of Bitcoin. We discuss: • What he learned in making this book • Hayek and the Austrians • Extropians • Cryptography and the Cypherpunks • Libertarians • Precursor tech to Bitcoin
