Samson Mow (https://x.com/Excellion) of JAN3 / ex-Blockstream fame, is a regular advisor to Nation States on integrating Bitcoin to manage sovereign debt and an accomplished gaming and tech entrepreneur. He discusses how his work with digital money and technology has come into contact with notions of privacy and freedom and how our love of more and more convenience may end up costing us more than we realize, especially with the emergence of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and Digital IDs. This conversation is surely one not to miss, touching on the increasing levels of surveillance across the world in the last decade enabled by the leaps in technological innovation and why we may wish to take pause when it comes to embracing the latest convenience.
Just around the same time of the recording this episode the UK announced implementation of its own Digital ID and rules called the Digital Identity Attributes Framework (DIAF), which is on a voluntary basis, for now - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/office-for-digital-identities-and-attributes.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
