Freedom & Privacy in the Crypto Future - David Robison

Is blockchain going to be the technology that changes everything?
Will it help us trust again? Will it revolutionize the
relationship of people to their government? David Robison,
cryptocurrency trader and blockchain enthusiast, suggests that it
can be used to secure elections, supply chains, and the means of
production. He believes in the potential of blockchain to such a
degree that he recently renounced his US citizenship and moved to
Fort Galt, a libertarian community in Southern Chile where crypto
is king. We start our conversation with the basics - what is
blockchain, bitcoin, and cryptocurrency? What can these
technologies do for a society? We talk about the hurdles to
blockchain implementation, and explore the persistent utility of
fiat currency, the accelerating necessity for global stewardship,
and the perception of democracy abroad. Pew Research on World
