Heresy, Privacy & Censorship #1: Monero, Peepeth, Kierkegaard (Bitgenstein's Table)

Summary: *** Bitgenstein's Table will stop cross-posting to this podcast soon. To continue enjoying it, subscribe on any platform: https://anchor.fm/bitgenstein *** Early decentralized social networks like Peepeth and DTube are starting to come online, resisting censorship with permanence. Meanwhile, privacy coins like Monero fight censorship with anonymity. Do we want a world of transparent permanence or a world of anonymity? In part 1 of Heresy, Privacy & Censorship, I introduce censorship resistance, concerns with it, and the projects I mentioned above. The Peepeth Kickstarter (and exclusive Peepeth rewards) are at http://kck.st/2PndDIt *** Correction: I accidentally call Cuthbert Tunstall the "Archbishop of Canterbury" in this episode. He was actually Bishop of Durham, though he was appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Music this week: 3 songs by Ernesto Lecuona, performed by me, plus a couple of improvisations. Theme song by Joseph Dickinson (audiojungle.net/user/jdmusic).
