Bitcoin is often mentioned as a means to improve financial inclusion, to allow people oppressed by their governments to maintain or reclaim a sense of freedom. In Bitcoin, everyone’s equal - or so the theory goes. But does the theory match the reality of the ecosystem? On today's episode, Data Scientist Alyssa Blackburn and Dr Erez Lieberman Aiden, an Associate Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine, join to discuss their research into who controlled Bitcoin from those early days.
