I talk to Adam Back, cypherpunk, cryptographer, and inventor of Hashcash. He is also the Co-Founder/CEO of Blockstream, Founded in 2014, it has remained at the forefront of work in cryptography and distributed systems. We talk about what it was like being part of the Cypherpunks list in the early days when Bitcoin was introduced, and the precursors to Bitcoin. Adam also explains the scepticism around Bitcoin in the early 2010s and contrasting with modern enthusiasm, especially around Institutional Bitcoin Adoption.
