Summary

Lawrence and his good friend Rocco Jarmin discuss Bitcoin, Blockchain, and the Future of Consent. Bitcoin is so much more than just "digital money", it's a revolution of freedom; Bitcoin is a technology, it is a currency, and it's an international network of payments and exchange that is completely decentralized. It doesn't rely on banks. It doesn't rely on governments. That is part of the blockchain revolution. 

But blockchain technology is so much more than just revolutionizing digital currency - we can use it to improve the world we live in. The blockchain ledger enables us to keep accurate, decentralized ledgers that bring us to a commonly agreed version of the truth that's more reliable than any truth that we have ever seen. And in today's world when the trust in institutions, politicians, and the media is at all time historic lows, the blockchain, as a "Truth Machine" could be the savior for the future. Rocco is available at his fantastic podcast "Eyes Wide Open Life".

at every level of coordination in government, and we are overwhelmed by misinformation and

0:45.3

confusing information.

0:46.6

Our blockchain, while typically referred to in the sense of the technology behind the

0:51.8

effectiveness of cryptocurrency, is actually much wider than that.

0:56.4

This area of blockchain impossibilities is something that Rocco wanted to focus on.

1:01.2

We take a little bit of time to get going.

1:03.0

It's a long episode, but it's such a complicated topic.

1:06.2

It's hard just to jump in, so please be patient, and I hope that you enjoy it.

Hello, Laurence, my friend, Rocco, it's great to be here.

1:15.9

Good morning, my brother.

1:16.9

I know it's early for you.

1:18.0

Yeah, but we've been up early, because as you know, we have a baby who's, I don't know

1:23.4

if you remember, that photograph I took right in the beginning, she had a little t-shirt

1:27.3

on it.

1:28.3

She was roaring like a lion, and I superimposed the words on there.

1:31.3
