#60 - Stephan Livera: Libertarianism, Bitcoin and Decentralization

Our guest on today’s show is Stephan Livera, Managing Director of Swan Bitcoin International, and the host of the Stephan Livera Podcast, one of the leading Bitcoin podcasts out there.

Stephan and I have slightly different views of blockchain technology and all the different cultural shifts that it has enabled. I personally hold the view that blockchain only got started with Bitcoin, similarly to Charles Babagges's conceptualisation of a computer which he thought was only going to be used for calculating math.

One of the most fascinating things about having conversations with various industry leaders is learning the different perspectives that they each have.
