Max Hillebrand is a cypherpunk, crypto anarchist, and author of the new book “The Praxeology of Privacy”, a 587-page work bringing Austrian economics and cypherpunk engineering together. He is a contributor to White Noise, a decentralized encrypted messaging app built on Nostr and the Marmot protocol. In this episode, we dig into his new book, the gap between Austrian economics and the cypherpunk movement, state intervention, CBDC, we explore various freedom tech tools, and Max explains his optimism about a peaceful, tech-driven path to freedom. → Please like, comment, share & subscribe, to help me beat the suppressing algo's.
