Virtual Private Networks with Orchid CEO Steven Waterhouse (Seven)

Apple Podcasts - Spotify

Many in the West often look to privacy preserving technologies like Orchid’s virtual private network (VPN) marketplace as enablers of nefarious activities. Go to a place like Indonesia, where 43% of the population uses VPNs to circumvent an overly censored internet and government surveillance of basic business activities, and you’ll get a different opinion. For protesters in places like Hong Kong, VPNs can serve as freedom preserving technology.

In this conversation, Orchid CEO Steven Waterhouse (Seven) details the project's plans for creating an internet free from surveillance and censorship. Ryan and Seven discuss the evolution of the project, the role its OXT token plays in the network as well as Orchid’s unique listing on Coinbase. They also get into the origins of Seven’s peculiar nickname.
