Cypherpunk Bitstream: Pandemic II

Abstract

We got the gang back together: Smuggler, Frank, and I on a special episode of the Cypherpunk Bitstream podcast, discussing the current situation for about 4½ hours (whew!), yet just scratching the surface of what will end up being a historic year, in the worst way since World War II.

We discussed the political reactions to the pandemic and the long-term effects on the economy, free speech, mass gatherings, biodefense, cash, infection control, and identity.
