Amir joins the show to talk his experience fighting ISIS with Rojava in Syria. Amir shares his philosophical reasons behind joining Rojava and how they intersect with anarchism. Amir also shares his thoughts on the current state of Bitcoin and the plan for finishing Dark Wallet.

Good remarks on the powergrab attempts like BUcoin at around 50 minutes in, like that time when they wanted a benevolent dictator (Gavin and Mike) and putting blacklists and so on with XT, then the rest of the crap that came with it.

Yeah I remember that

I can't believe anyone that isn't getting paid can still defend people like Gavin Andersen which have obviously been compromised for a long time now.

The Name is Amir Taaki not Amir Khan, Amir Khan is  an indian celebrity.
Though it is a great interview, I dont know Amir Taaki but hearing him to be a bitcoin developer in the past is really a fact that I don't know much names.

Lol that's funny because im into boxing and I called him Amir Khan which is a boxer. Well anyway, Amir Taaki is a legend in the bitcoin community, he needs to be more active and develop more censorship resistance technologies specially to solve the PoW issue.

Thx for the link I love listening to things like this.

Another good commentator on btc and crypto is Bram Cohen, the creator of bit torrent.

Whats funny is Gavin actually likes segwit and LN. He thinks segwit is the best malleability fix:

It's just that he wants a base block size increase along with segwit:

Theres nothing wrong with the title of the thread, it says Aamir Taaki, not Aamir Khan, he is an good artist, director and a producer, love his movies and works.I did a quick search about Aamir Taaki and seems that he is a big name when it comes to cryptocurrency world. I am still not finish listening to the clip though I think it is a great interview, nice introduction though 😊

I respect Amir Taaki, he is well known hacker and crypto anarchist definitely the foe to some chinese mining cartel and BTU

I'll try to check this video out later.
I hope that he explains why he went out to be in the war against ISIS it just didn't make much sense when the person posted an article about it a while ago.
It's good to see that there's people actually focusing on what's going on within their daily lives instead of drifting around in the cyber world. I hope that the guy stays alive because he’s trying to do the right thing.
