Show Notes

Following the anniversary of Ross Ulbricht's arrest, and the fall of the Silk Road experiment, we read a short but extraordinary piece, hand written in a cell by Ross, on Bitcoin's promise of freedom.  What did those first adopters, when Bitcoin had no price and no market, what did they see in those digital bits? How did Bitcoin achieve its first value, and what did it mean for our world?
