"I needed Bitcoin to defend myself against the State. Bitcoin is so powerful that it actually leveled the playing field between myself and the national election authority."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Carlos Toriello (aka Carliño) about Simple Proof and using Bitcoin + OpenTimeStamps to safeguard election integrity, which was exactly what happened in the 2023 national elections in Guatemala, where the government became the first in the world to implement an immutable backup based on Simple Proof.
