Erik Voorhees on Bitcoin & AI
Erik Voorhees is the founder of Satoshi Dice, ShapeShift & Venice.ai. In this interview, we discuss the size and role of government, the growth of Bitcoin & how it can help restrain the power of the state as well as Venice AI and the future of artificial intelligence.
“A government cannot operate with Bitcoin in the same way it operates with fiat…that is really the ultimate goal of Bitcoin is to just achieve that constraint on government where constitutions and voting has failed.”
— ErikVoorhees

Bitcoin Back on the Ballot with Avik Roy
SHOW NOTES:
https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/bitcoin-back-on-the-ballot
“If you can enlarge the constituency of people who really, really care about Bitcoin, have a real stake in it, who are willing to fight really hard, and will vote on that basis, then politicians are going to realize that alienating or antagonising that constituency has a greater cost than going along with what they have to say.”
— Avik Roy
Avik Roy is president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity think tank and a policy Editor at Forbes. In this interview, we discuss why Trump is supporting Bitcoin & crypto, the power of the growing Bitcoin voter base, and the coming fight with regulators.

SHOW NOTES:
https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/the-bitcoin-scammer-uncensored
“Everyone’s very afraid of being hacked, and, unless you understand the underlying security in all of your accounts, you’re going to have trouble not knowing whether these claims by a robocall are real.”
— Junseth
Junseth is an OG Bitcoiner and the former co-host of Bitcoin Uncensored. In this show we dissect what started as a scam phishing call to Junseth and turned into an interview of the scammer, how people are vulnerable to scams, and how to protect yourself.

The Power of Bitcoin with Gloria Zhao
SHOW NOTES:
https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/the-power-of-bitcoin
“There’s just so much to do just in terms of understanding the code better and fortifying it…sometimes you need to invasively change something in order to make it more scalable...so it’s not ‘don’t ever change the code,’ be conservative and not try to ‘move fast and break things.’”
— Gloria Zhao
Gloria Zhao is a Bitcoin Core maintainer. In this interview, we discuss upgrading Bitcoin vs ossifying the protocol, ordinals and mempool “spam”, and the theory & ‘power’ of core developers.
