Absolutely sensational interview. Thank you so much. Austin is an incredible person and what a store of knowledge. Just an absolute pleasure to listen to his experience and wisdom. Well done Peter, this is top quality content you're creating. You're a credit to yourself and I'm struck by your ability to engage and contribute with brilliant minds from a spectrum of backgrounds. You deserve all the success that comes your way brother.
This guy sounds like the love child of Jordan Peterson and Michael Saylor. 😂 great great show, Peter. Edit: still finishing this one and I'm in shock at how good it is. Thanks for doing this. Please keep interviewing OG bitcoiners. More Gigi. More Rizzo. More OGs I've never heard of too. 💪
Never knew of this guy Austin Hill. Fascinating to listen to, his warmth is incredible. Also, "do you want us to send people anywhere to follow you" Nah, I'm retired! Priceless humbling end. Looking forward to more
My God what a great guest Austin was. I learnt a ton from this. The quality of guests and discussions on your platform get better over time, it's incredible. Thanks Peter! 🙏🏼
Peter, the story of the cypher punks really needs to be told in great detail. Books need to be written. This amazing story of these pioneers could change some of the negative narrative of bitcoin w younger generation. Would love you to find more of these guys for sure and more of Austin. Since he's retired, you should have him on once per month like Willy and Lynn. Great job.
Brilliant. Absolutely fascinating and has led me to look into a lot of what was talked about. Thanks Austin for the interview, and i don't know if you read these comments Peter but i really want to thank you for making these interviews happen and for putting them out. They are making a genuine manifest difference to my life, and probably many others. Sincerely mate, appreciate it. 🙏✌
Thanks for this interview. As someone relatively new to bitcoin, it's very interesting to hear about the underlying principles and personalities behind the movement. I think it's important to feature more of these types of interviews to give legitimacy to the movement beyond the financial benefits which I believe most people are in it for including myself.
So, so important to have quality recordings from the people who helped bring this pivotal moment in human history about. It deeply affected me to hear Code Devs treating Bitcoin like the Manhattan Project, knowing that what they work on is too important to get wrong, too important to treat with even the slightest disrespect.
Wow wow wow!!! Man I thought the Michael Saylors interview was amazing!! And it was actually!! But this one was simply mind blowing! Thank you both so much for your time! It's so appreciated! Cheers
I don't usually comment. But this was Fantastic! Love to hear more from Austin. Love that he ref. Jeff Booth - his book is a must read! Bitcoin is the only path for a peaceful transition. Thanks Peter
Separation of hashing and voting power is a huge step towards decentralisation. Hope to hear more developments on privacy, thus fungibility. Cash is private and needs to stay that way in digital world too imo. Thanks for the amazing interview.
What an interesting guy & just so humble , hopefully his world of Bitcoin will help the people that need it most. Money made by the people for the people. 🤞🙏
What Austin describes in the end of the interview regarding cities and Bitcoin bonds undermining fiat governance reminds me of the rise of the City State during the Renaissance, like Florence and Venice, etc.
I wouldn't expect this discussion to have universal appeal, even among bitcoin investors. But this Austin guy had quite a few interesting stories to tell.
40:58 🤣😂🤣 Perfect explanation of Roger Ver. I like Roger Ver, but the number of qualified people who are all loyal to btc and the btc market cap makes me doubt his ideas. For a while I was genuinely unsure which was better btc or bch. He’s got some good things to say though I think
That was a very good podcast. What was the book he recomended? I was listening to it audio only and dont remember at which point he spoke about that book
great guest. Austin your example with Venezuela(what's the obsession with this country?, the end bit might just explain it) is really bad, you were talking about US ally Columbia.
Try to interview Cory Doctorow and Bruce Schneier (who were both mentioned by Austin) please. They're very knowledgable regarding tech and privacy and they seem to be quite anti bitcoin and crypto.
Please come do your bitcoin municipal bond idea here in Los Alamos, NM... especially if you're trying to be the Manhattan Project of the financial singularity. We have a few smart people here, just sayin'...
His block size war agreement was not quite intellectually honest … a more appropriate analogy would be simply to increase the size of the airplane (not strap seats on the wings that’s a bit silly) .
He’s referring to the technical implications being unsustainable, then goes over some of the reasons it causes centralization. The analogy was sound whether you agree with his later arguments or not.
The guy boast he has a super memory then couldn't remember the third partners name. When he did he then remembered he had also died. Yeah great memory ffs
Wow. Thanks for this interview, I’m just at 28 minutes, but it’s amazing. It sounds like Austin lived a life of 20 people compressed into 1.
Absolutely sensational interview. Thank you so much. Austin is an incredible person and what a store of knowledge. Just an absolute pleasure to listen to his experience and wisdom.

Its really insightful to see Bitcoin from this side of the room. History provides you with a better foundation to value the present.
This guy sounds like the love child of Jordan Peterson and Michael Saylor. 😂 great great show, Peter.
Edit: still finishing this one and I'm in shock at how good it is. Thanks for doing this. Please keep interviewing OG bitcoiners. More Gigi. More Rizzo. More OGs I've never heard of too. 💪
THANK YOU!!!! I was trying to figure that out. Like figuratively because of their philosophy buy also whoa. That voice.
Never knew of this guy Austin Hill. Fascinating to listen to, his warmth is incredible. Also, "do you want us to send people anywhere to follow you" Nah, I'm retired! Priceless humbling end. Looking forward to more
Not humble he boasted for most of the interview. he's Rich lol. doesn't need the hassle
This is one of your best interviews ever. Austin is amazing to listen to. Thanks Peter for bringing him on!
My God what a great guest Austin was. I learnt a ton from this. The quality of guests and discussions on your platform get better over time, it's incredible. Thanks Peter! 🙏🏼
Fantastic show. So good to learn about Austen and hear him speak. Absolutely riveting

Wow, i've learned so much. This is a must see for everybody. Thank you.
Wow. Fantastic interview. Love the history and OG guests. Thank you
Hello from the Monero Community
Still one of the best interviews I've ever seen!
What a fascinating speaker. Outstanding interview.
What a fantastic interview. It makes it pretty easy to choose sides after listening to guys like Austin
Great interview, fascinating guy. I already knew the basics of the whole cypherpunk but this was so much more informative. Looking forward to part 2.
This is your show at it's very best.
"If it's a ten for you then it's a good one thousand for me." Peter, this made me laugh, bro. Keep it up, man. We paying attention.
Absolutely fab interview with a very knowledgeable person!!
Now that was a breath of fresh air. Riveting stuff.
1 minute into this podcast and I am already hooked. "Flip, flip, flip, flip ..... and it's all there" 😂
What an interesting guy & just so humble , hopefully his world of Bitcoin will help the people that need it most. Money made by the people for the people. 🤞🙏
Thanks for this - I had to listen twice but GREAT!
What an awesome guy and conversation! Can't wait to see part 2.
Hi Peter, hi guys, another great conversation.
Fantastic show. Best one yet.
I hope to meet this guy in person one day so I can buy him a beer and 15 minutes of his time, Austin your are a star!
Dude, amazing. Can't wait for round 2 hope many more. Like 10 or 20.. Thanks.
The book Austin talks about is "Moonwalking with Einstein" by Joshua Foer. I've read it twice, great read.
This was absolutely awesome!!
Good stuff here, if only more people were smart enough to understand the facts. Thanks guys !
Absolutely interesting! Thanks Peter
Best interview Iv seen in…a long time
Cool interview, Peter! Thank you.
That’s was absolutely amazing thank you very much for the brilliant interview inspiring
What Austin describes in the end of the interview regarding cities and Bitcoin bonds undermining fiat governance reminds me of the rise of the City State during the Renaissance, like Florence and Venice, etc.
great guest! I'm waitin for another one interview with him
Nice Peter Schiff pictures in the background
Listening to Austin makes me feel less sickened by Maxi Toxicity. Good to feel connection to a person within the Bitcoin community.
you seem toxic
so good, fun to listen to after reading the blocksize wars
Fantastic interview. Wow.
Great interview well done 👏🇬🇧
haha "hang on ifs its 10 for you then its 1000 for me... gold hahaha great episode. keep up the good work Pete.
Wow again ! What an interview !
Wow great interview Pete. You should do a Cyperpunks Series or something.
I wouldn't expect this discussion to have universal appeal, even among bitcoin investors. But this Austin guy had quite a few interesting stories to tell.
Loved that and looking forward to part 2 🙌🙌🙌
Awesome episode👏🙂
Fascinating, indeed!
Amazing, Amazing.
Thank you
Pete is looking at Austin like, "I know that Adam is Satoshi dude. Just say it."
Loved hearing his perspective on the blocksize imbroglio.
Loved this one!
40:58 🤣😂🤣
Perfect explanation of Roger Ver. I like Roger Ver, but the number of qualified people who are all loyal to btc and the btc market cap makes me doubt his ideas. For a while I was genuinely unsure which was better btc or bch. He’s got some good things to say though I think
this was brilliant
That was a very good podcast. What was the book he recomended? I was listening to it audio only and dont remember at which point he spoke about that book
It was 'The price of Tomorrow' by Jeff Booth. ✌
I believe the book was Jeff Booth's "The Price of Tomorrow"
Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom - Cory Doctorow
Walking on the moon with Einstein
Or the Price of Tomorrow - Jeff Booth
Just awesome!!.
Thank you!
Excellent!
great guest. Austin your example with Venezuela(what's the obsession with this country?, the end bit might just explain it) is really bad, you were talking about US ally Columbia.
Try to interview Cory Doctorow and Bruce Schneier (who were both mentioned by Austin) please. They're very knowledgable regarding tech and privacy and they seem to be quite anti bitcoin and crypto.
Austin Hill...interesting guy...👏
MIND BLOWN.
Awesome guy
one of those times when i dont intend to increase playback speed cuz the guest is next level.
😱🤯Straight 🔥🔥🎯
To quote Jeremy Clarksons beer advert " Fuck me that was good "
Very interesting
Damn this guy is interesting.
I think maybe the guest said "Venezuela" a couple times when he meant to say "El Salvador".
Please come do your bitcoin municipal bond idea here in Los Alamos, NM... especially if you're trying to be the Manhattan Project of the financial singularity. We have a few smart people here, just sayin'...
This bloke is cool AF
This man was telling about life stories and accomplishments, enough for like 10 people and than goes ... "and at that point I was already 36"
First 50 minutes or so "Waow amazing interview ! Great". After that "What ?! Sorry ?! uh ?"....gosh. We are still so early
Schiff is always in shot like a specter haunting the room, out of focus and distant. Seems fitting
Not Venezuela, it’s El Salvador!
Roger Ver is one of the biggest Bitcoin villains
Roger, Trace would be welcomed if resolved
His block size war agreement was not quite intellectually honest … a more appropriate analogy would be simply to increase the size of the airplane (not strap seats on the wings that’s a bit silly) .
You really missed the point didn't you?
He’s referring to the technical implications being unsustainable, then goes over some of the reasons it causes centralization. The analogy was sound whether you agree with his later arguments or not.
I read 3 or 4 books to my kids in the evening. Apple Tree farm, don't knock it.
holy fucking shit. that was cool.
in a world of abundance excess becomes necessary, gift culture is far from reality
Sir I like the setup but needs some colour, some decoration, getting bladerunner interlinked vibes
Is that a beer Pete is drinking?
He obviously knows that Adam Back is Satoshi Nakamoto.
XXXLnt !
Never before has one man been so prone to such exaggeration.
This guy looks like Dr William Lane Craig
memory is overrated
Interesting interview up until the analogy about the Venezuelan guy. Hope that sort of bias isn’t spilling over to BTC codebase yikes!
This guy either is, or knows who satoshi is
The guy boast he has a super memory then couldn't remember the third partners name. When he did he then remembered he had also died. Yeah great memory ffs
