#110: Chaumian eCash & COPA Verdict feat. moonsettler Mar 25, 2024

Show notes

In Moonsettler’s second landing on the show, we spend first half with a deep dive on Chaumian eCash (NOT XEC!), ZK rollups on BTC, with second half switching to collapse of BSV post COPA verdict, latest Blockstream propaganda, and other topics.

Moonsettler is a BTC developer and a self-described “stubborn self-sovereign money maximalist and aspiring cypherpunk”.

Enjoy the discussion!
