Dan Hassan is a very early Bitcoin enthusiast who's taking a different approach to making use of his cryptocurrency wealth. Instead of moving to Silicon Valley, buying a Tesla and funding dubious startups, Dan's helping activists and progressives find their feet in crypto -- with the aim of creating an extended gang of independently wealthy individuals who can dedicate themselves to disruption and the building of radical, new social alternatives. What could be more STEAL THIS SHOW? We met up with Dan to discuss the early days of Bitcoin and his roots in the anarcho-left; just how great a strategist Satoshi Nakamoto was; what it means that disruptive systems like darknet markets and unregulated ICOs are now so easy to stand up; how crypto investing could be a hedge against the rising instability of everyday life; how blockchain-managed personal data would almost certainly be an improvement over the Facebook 'voluntary surveillance' model; and perhaps most fascinating of all, Dan's take on Bitcoin and other peer-to-peer currencies - that regardless of the real utility value of crypto, big finance is coming soon ("That's Where The Cheese Is!") -- and it will take To The Moon to a whole new level.* *Please note, although we did manage to screw some crypto tips out of Dan, nothing in this show is to intended as financial advice. These are weird times. Literally no one can predict what's going to happen!
