🎙NEW EPISODE: Decentralizing Digital Identity & Encrypted Messaging
My guest today on @You’re The Voice is @JeffG , a privacy advocate and builder of censorship-resistant communication systems using Nostr and open cryptography. Jeff works on White Noise, a decentralized encrypted messenger designed to eliminate single points of failure.
We break down how the internet’s missing money layer led to the surveillance economy, why “nothing to hide” is a psychological trap, and how self-sovereign identity works through public-private keys. We also explore social graphs, the global push for digital ID + CBDCs, and why centralized messengers like Signal remain fragile.
We discussed:
→ Why the surveillance economy happened
→ The trap behind “nothing to hide”
→ Self-sovereign identity & Nostr
→ Digital ID + CBDCs as control vectors
→ The problems with centralized messengers
→ Nostr & Bitcoin as the new freedom layer
