217 - The Politics of Bitcoin (Zelko & Samourai Wallet)

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Zelko of RoninDojo and Samourai Wallet. They unpack the crazy politics in the Bitcoin community: from the fuzzy "red lines" of Bitcoin company, to the gradual diminishment of Bitcoin's cypherpunk origins, to FOSS gaslighting and the recent Ocean Mining censorship. Oh, and Bitcoin is not for Progressives.
