Blockchains are actually a terrible solution for privacy, but they have huge promise when combined with privacy-first, decentralized computing networks, helping form a secure DWeb. Enigma offers a complete privacy protocol that includes a blockchain.

Facebook, Apple and now Google claim a new focus on privacy — but it’s more about protecting their monopolies than protecting consumers. Learn why Tor Bair, Head of Growth at @EnigmaMPC, still distrusts Big Tech, and how decentralized tech beyond blockchain could be an answer.

DECENTRALIZE THIS!

This episode of Decentralize This!, Enigma’s podcast hosted by Tor Bair, features Angela Walch, a Professor of Law at St. Mary’s University School of Law. Her research focuses on money and the law, cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies, and financial stability. She is a self-described skeptic of blockchain technology, and she’s considered one of the leading legal experts on many of the complexities being created by decentralized technologies.

On this episode Angela talks about the difficulty in defining terms like “decentralization” and “trustless”, who makes the ultimate determination on whether something is decentralized, what are the weaknesses she sees in blockchain governance, and how despite her overall skepticism, some of these new technologies might actually hold real promise.
