The Godfathers of Bitcoin: Nick Szabo, Adam Back and David Chaum - Bitcoin in Asia 29

We have very special episode this week featuring some of the godfathers of Bitcoin: Nick Szabo, Adam Back and David Chaum. This was recorded as a live panel from Seoul at Korea Blockchain Week and is laid out as a history of the ideas and events that led to Bitcoin from their first person accounts, plus their current thoughts on the experiment and what excites them about the future. From the cryptography and cypherpunk movements to David’s DigiCash, Adam’s Hashcash proof-of-work, Nick’s Bit Gold, and more. Their own contributions were foundational to the development of Bitcoin, and it was fascinating to have them together and playing off of each other in a discussion of that history. A special thanks for fact block for organizing.

As part UI developer I really want the vibrating circle in this video to move to whoever is speaking. I also agree that micropayments, as Nick said, have too much of a mental overhead to be used by humans, but node to node they make sense. Saas services consumed by aggregating services that then serve humans could easily use micropayments. The UX is not yet there to be more frictionless than Visa/ApplePay even before you deal with the tax implications. Making the tax bit easier is something I'm working in.
