Edward Snowden Talks Governments and Crypto, CBDCs, and Ethereum vs Bitcoin at Camp Ethereal

Edward Snowden gives an extensive interview to Marta Belcher of Filecoin Foundation for Camp Ethereal 2022, taped on February 27. He talks about how governments view crypto as “an evolving threat,” how crypto “transforms power relationships,” why he thinks Ethereum “suffers from the same privacy problems as Bitcoin,” and why he views central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) as “crypto-fascist currencies.”
