Phil Zimmermann episode just dropped on Bitcoin Takeover Podcast (S14 E15)
This guy literally created PGP — the encryption that made privacy accessible to normies. Feds went after him for "exporting munitions" when it spread globally.
Also: he was Hal Finney's boss. Hired him to code PGP 2.0.
Internet Hall of Fame inductee. Co-founded Silent Circle.
If you care about privacy, cypherpunk history, or understanding the roots of crypto's ethos — this is required listening.
