Early to the Internet, Early to Bitcoin & Nostr w/ Mike Hardcastle (JWP46)

<p>In Episode 46 of The Jake Woodhouse Podcast, Mike Hardcastle joins me to explore the power of Nostr, how censorship resistance is being rebuilt from the ground up, and what it takes to run your own relay. We discuss leaving the UK due to its draconian tax policies, the early days of the internet, the parallels between Bitcoin and TCP/IP, and how protocols, not platforms, will shape the future of freedom online.</p> <p>Website: <a href="https://mikehardcastle.com/">https://mikehardcastle.com/</a></p> <p>Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/p/npub1aqakd28d95muqlg6h6nwrvqq5925n354prayckr424k49vzjds4s0c237n">https://primal.net/p/npub1aqakd28d95muqlg6h6nwrvqq5925n354prayckr424k49vzjds4s0c237n</a></p> <p>Book: <a href="https://mikehardcastle.com/my-book-why-bitcoin/">https://mikehardcastle.com/my-book-why-bitcoin/</a></p> <p>New episodes drop Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
