#010 - Ben Arc - Decentralising Freedom: Bitcoin, Nostr and Artificial Intelligence

Ben Arc is an open-source developer and an advocate in the
Bitcoin and Nostr ecosystems.


In this episode, we discuss the shift from centralised platforms
like Twitter to decentralized systems, discussing how Nostr
allows users to control their data and build communities without
corporate interference. We get into Bitcoin’s evolution,
synthesizing libertarian and socialist ideologies, the future of
soft currencies, and the role of CBDCs in global economies. We
also talk about the cultural significance of local currencies
like the Welsh pound, the importance of free speech in a digital
age, and how AI is transforming both daily life.
