Episode description

Having long promised to decentralise power, Bitcoin is looking more and more like it will end up as a tool of American power under Trump.

Sam Hart is a developer, writer, and editor of the Cryptoeconomic Systems journal. He spoke to Richard Hames about the promises and perils of the new era of blockchain technologies.
