My guest is Jameson Lopp, he calls himself a professional cypherpunk. His mission is to use his skills as a technologist to build tools that empower individuals. Jameson is the Co-founder & CTO of Casa a company dedicated to helping you to secure your bitcoin. It’s the second time that Jameson is my guest, listen to our previous interview here.

Topics:

Government friendly mining or an attack on Bitcoin?
Geo-political aspects, US hegemony
Bitcoin mining explainer and definition of miners
Tools used: KYC-ing miners and censoring transactions
Possible outcomes? Worst case scenario
Counteracting: Game theory, economics, technical aspects
