My guest today on nostr:nprofile1qqsdcz7puq6jv9ahh58h26zxl5gwl7xks548ck48uyfmsx0kzlfl3rcfrx0pj is nostr:nprofile1qqspwwwexlwgcrrnwz4zwkze8rq3ncjug8mvgsd96dxx6wzs8ccndmc2ymgxf, a privacy advocate and builder of censorship-resistant communication systems using Nostr and open cryptography. Jeff works on White Noise, a decentralized encrypted messenger designed to eliminate single points of failure.

We break down how the internet’s missing money layer led to the surveillance economy, why “nothing to hide” is a psychological trap, and how self-sovereign identity works through public-private keys. We also explore social graphs, the global push for digital ID + CBDCs, and why centralized messengers like Signal remain fragile.

We discussed:

→ Why the surveillance economy happened

→ The trap behind “nothing to hide”

→ Self-sovereign identity & Nostr

→ Digital ID + CBDCs as control vectors

→ The problems with centralized messengers

→ Nostr & Bitcoin as the new freedom layer
