Famous British developer wants to “save” Bitcoin

According to Wired, famous British Bitcoin developer Amir Taaki wants to hire five employees, “preferably women,” to live a “quasi-monastic” life with the purpose of promoting the formation of more correct views on Bitcoin

In an interview with Wired, Taaki said he has plans to use “hacker nuns” to drive political change driven by Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Taaki plans to start from Catalonia. 

“This will be a political startup whose goal is not fundraising, but social change.” - says Amir. 

Starting in September 2015, Taaki spent several months in the Kurdish-controlled autonomous part of northern Syria fighting ISIS terrorists. In addition to material and social support, he told local residents about the benefits of Bitcoin and how it could help them in the current situation. 

Now he believes that “the revival of Bitcoin will lead to the complete collapse of the world political system.”.


“Bitcoin has no specific purpose. He has no vision of where this is all going. All the original ideas about using Bitcoin for privacy, new forms of financial systems, autonomy from power - all these ideas have gone to the bottom. Now Bitcoin is a small group of people obsessed with its price. No more. "


The five potential hackers, who should ideally be "young women" for "gender equality" reasons, should have no technical experience - but should be willing to work for free in Taaki's house in Catalonia.
