Ep 18 - Jameson Lopp - Protecting Privacy and People in a Decentralized World
Hosted by Enigma's Head of Growth Tor Bair, our eighteenth episode features Jameson Lopp. Jameson is an experienced engineer who has been working full-time in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency space since 2015, contributing to a number of different projects. He is currently the CTO of Casa, which builds best-in-class key management solutions as well as Casa Node, a Bitcoin and Lightning node that can be used in your home. He is also the creator of Statoshi, a fork of Bitcoin Core aiming to analyze statistics of Bitcoin nodes. Jameson writes frequently on Bitcoin, personal privacy, security, and much more. On this episode Jameson talks with Tor about what it means to be a "cypherpunk", how his own extreme experiences have shaped his perspective on privacy and security, how individuals can be incentivized to solve systemic issues, and how Casa in particular is empowering users and enabling a more decentralized ecosystem. Enigma's new podcast "Decentralize This!" features guests from all over the decentralization space: developers, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, writers, artists, people in government and enterprise - all individuals who care deeply about building a more decentralized and sustainable world. How can all these people with different perspectives collaborate to create and scale the technologies we need to shape a better future? ---- Relevant links: Jameson's Webpage: https://lopp.net/ Casa: https://keys.casa Enigma: www.enigma.co Enigma Blog: blog.enigma.co Enigma Twitter: www.twitter.com/enigmampc
