247 - Bitcoin Milestones & Cypherpunk Roots

In this episode, McIntosh and Kenshin reflect on a major Bitcoin milestone and use it as a jumping-off point for a broader conversation about where Bitcoin came from and why its foundations still matter. Along the way, they mix in some personal updates, thoughts on technology, and the bigger picture of how digital tools are changing the way we live and work. The discussion then turns to the Cypherpunk Manifesto and the lasting importance of privacy, encryption, and individual freedom in an increasingly digital world. The episode connects those earlier ideas to Bitcoin today, exploring how questions of money, privacy, and control remain just as relevant now as ever.
