In this episode, Jeremy sits down with Obi Nwosu, CEO of Fedi, to explore how privacy technology serves communities under authoritarian regimes and capital controls through decentralized super apps combining eCash, Bitcoin, and encrypted communications.
The conversation covers Obi's journey from running one of Europe's first regulated Bitcoin exchanges to building community-based custody solutions, why privacy-based security outperforms power-based security, and how AI-powered hacking is driving mainstream privacy awareness. They discuss federated mint technology enabling anti-fragile communities, wrench attacks exposing Bitcoin's transparency problem, and how institutions like Reynolds Foundation support democracy-defending technologies.
This conversation offers insights into scaling freedom technologies through communities rather than individuals, the coming privacy apocalypse, and why true freedom requires building for the world's most difficult environments first.
