Episode 52: Cryptocurrency and the Afterlife

March 8, 2022 Kyle Puckhaber CypherCon 0 Comments

I have the pleasure of speaking with one of my favorite authors, Daniel Pinchbeck. We started a dialogue after I replied to one of his articles on his substack that explored some of the problematic aspects of cryptocurrency. On this episode we discuss the promises and perils of cryptocurrency, organizing society in a functional anarchy, and ancient technologies explored in his new book Afterlife: Is there Consciousness After Death? You can find all of Daniel’s work on his website and find him on Twitter @DanielPinchbeck.
