Bitcoin Paper 0 09 Jan 2019

Crypto Regulations 0 18 Dec 2018

As more governments try to cobble together regulations around decentralized technologies, let me remind you that regulations are only as "real" as their ability to be enforced. Cryptography has your back here. There's never been a better time for run-of-the-mill libertarians to understand GPG, TLS, Tor, zk-SNARKs.
