Max Tannahill: Core Devs vs Real Users
Episode 94 of The Watchman Privacy Podcast – Max Tannahill: Core Devs vs Real Users
Gabriel Custodiet talks to Max Tannahill about Bitcoin privacy, Monero, and phone privacy. Max is a dedicated and well respected experimenter with wallets and the practical tools that the limousine crypto class would never sully themselves with. As such, Max’s views on these topics—such as Monero as the best layer 2 for Bitcoin and the damage of Taproot and Covenants—come from the thoughtful mind of a rare actual user of these digital technologies.
