Edward Snowden gives David Chaum Shoutout at Bitcoin 2019

[ccryptopark]

Snowden was a headliner speaker at Bitcoin 2019 in SF speaking about the importance of privacy and how the lack of privacy is an existential threat to bitcoin. He gave a shout out to crypto OG and privacy pioneer David Chaum which is pretty epic.

Chaum is currently in the process of creating a privacy payments platform with a messaging dApp using his cMix protocol that he invented. I mean if anyone were to create a true decentralized private platform it would be somebody that's been in it since the beginning.

Anyone else been following Elixxir?

that's pretty cool. Snowden and Chaum make a solid case for privacy imo

Every crypto folk should know who David Chaum is. He's really one of the pioneer of this idea, cryptography.
I'm not really following his project but I give credit to him and acknowledges him on who he was. I might start following the progress of his project now since you have mentioned it.
