Sovereignty requires privacy. If you are under surveillance, you are under control. Arjun Khemani joins Balaji to discuss the moral imperative of scaling Zcash and the concept of a privacy-first Network State. They discuss the "battlefield" spawn point of Gen Z, the sovereignty test distinguishing China from Japan, and centralization risks in the Lightning Network.
