The Origin of Bitcoin with Adam Back and Alex Gladstein

In this episode of Twitter Spaces hosted by Bitcoin Magazine, hosts P (@phjlljp) and CK (@ck_snarks) are joined by the legendary Adam Back (@adam3us) as well as Alex Gladstein (@gladstein) and Aaron Van Wirdum (@AaronVanW) to discuss Gladstein's recent piece in Bitcoin Magazine "The Quest For Digital Cash". Adam Back shares his unique perspective as someone who was a pioneer of early cypherpunk e-cash projects before Bitcoin and as someone who has made very meaningful contributions to Bitcoin. Their discussion explores the early cypherpunk days and how Bitcoin actually came to be, Adam's invention of hashcash and his communication with Satoshi, what he's currently doing at Blockstream and what he sees for the future of Bitcoin, and much more.
