The Hidden Bitcoin Paradise
The Confab 09: SeedSigner
- Host - Max
- GUEST - SeedSigner
Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from “confidential talk”, which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time. The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.
On this episode, long time friend of the show, SeedSigner, joins Max for a touching base and touching grass conversation.
Show Discussion
Max reconnects with SeedSigner after a year, diving into various topics and catching up on the progress of their project. They discuss the challenges of gaining visibility for SeedSigner, a grassroots Bitcoin project, and the hurdles faced in a space dominated by larger players with vested interests. Despite these challenges, SeedSigner remains committed to its mission of providing an open-source, DIY Bitcoin savings tool.
They also touch on the broader Bitcoin ecosystem, expressing concerns about the lack of focus on privacy and the increasing compliance culture within the community. The conversation shifts to personal experiences, including the balance of family life and work, and the importance of spending quality time with loved ones.
The discussion meanders through various topics, from the cultural differences between urban and rural areas in the UK and the US, to the potential of multisig setups for Bitcoin security. They also explore the vibrant Bitcoin community in Curacao and the promising developments in El Salvador.
Throughout the episode, they reflect on the changing landscape of Bitcoin conferences and podcasts, expressing a desire for more genuine, grassroots interactions and a focus on the core values of Bitcoin. Join them for an insightful and candid conversation about the state of Bitcoin, privacy, and the importance of community.
