An Introduction to zero-knowledge proofs: their potential, applications, and challenges In this episode of 'Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock'n'Roll' (BFRR), we explore zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), a technological innovation helping to protect privacy in our increasingly digital world. Co-host Jonas Gross discusses with Johannes Sedlmeir, postdoctoral researcher at the University of Luxembourg, how ZKPs work, their relevance, applications, and potential. They address key terminology and clarify common misconceptions. Johannes illustrates ZKPs through a simple cave analogy: Imagine being trapped in a cave with two exits and a door in the middle. As the prover, you want to demonstrate to a verifier that you can open the door by exiting on either side - without revealing how. The verifier requests you exit on different sides repeatedly. After multiple successful attempts, the verifier becomes convinced you possess the secret without ever seeing it. Johannes extends this explanation with practical examples for different audiences – e.g., adults and engineers. ZKPs have applications across numerous privacy-critical domains, including payments and identity, e.g., identification, authorization, and authentication. Recent technological advances have made many use cases practical today, while others face ongoing challenges. Which applications show the most promise and could reach billion-dollar market potential? The episode concludes with Jonas and Johannes discussing when ZKPs might become mainstream technology, operating quietly behind most digital processes. Tune in to hear their insights.

Das Host-Team blickt auf ein ereignisreiches Blockchain-Jahr zurück In der letzten Episode des Jahres 2024 versammelt sich das komplette BFRR-Team zum traditionellen Jahresrückblick. Nach 321 Episoden und im sechsten Jahr des Podcasts blicken wir auf ein außergewöhnliches Kryptojahr zurück. 2024 war geprägt von wegweisenden Entwicklungen: Die Einführung der Bitcoin-ETFs im Januar markierte einen historischen Meilenstein mit über 110 Milliarden US-Dollar Assets under Management. Die Stablecoin-Marktkapitalisierung erreichte neue Höchststände, während die SEC ihre regulatorischen Aktivitäten im DeFi-Bereich intensivierte. Wir evaluieren unsere Prognosen aus dem Vorjahr und diskutieren die wichtigsten Marktentwicklungen - von der Bitcoin-Preisentwicklung über institutionelle Adoption bis hin zu regulatorischen Veränderungen. Als besonderes Highlight kündigen wir zudem unsere Transformation zu einem englischsprachigen Format ab 2025 an. Ein besonderer Dank gilt unseren treuen Hörern, Sponsoren und dem gesamten Team, die diesen Podcast über die Jahre zu dem gemacht haben, was er heute ist. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Ist Bitcoin-Sicherheit durch die aktuellen Fortschritte von Quantencomputern bedroht? Außerdem: Bitcoin-Reserve-Momentum und EZB-Bericht zum digitalen Euro In dieser News-Episode analysieren wir die wichtigsten Blockchain-Entwicklungen des Monats Dezember 2024. Im Fokus der Episode steht zunächst die Diskussion um die Sicherheit von Bitcoin. Zuletzt hat Googles Willow Quanten-Chip für Aufsehen gesorgt, welcher teilweise als „Durchbruch“ interpretiert wird. Ist das Bitcoin-System durch diese Willow-Fortschritte in Gefahr? Wir nehmen diese Frage für euch unter die Lupe und diskutieren, warum Quantencomputer eine Gefahr für Bitcoin sein können – und ob bereits heute eine akute Gefahr besteht. Außerdem war der Dezember klar der Monat der Diskussionen rund um staatliche Bitcoin-Reserven. Während Präsident Trump bereits angekündigt hat, in den USA eine Reserve von 1 Million Bitcoins aufbauen zu wollen, beschäftigen sich nun offiziell auch Brasilien und Russland mit dem Thema – inoffiziell auch Japan und China. Und auch im deutschen Wahlkampf ist das Thema angekommen. Die FDP ist für eine deutsche Bitcoin-Reserve offen. Wie sind diese Entwicklungen einzuordnen? Werden Bitcoin-Reserven kommen? Wir sagen es euch in der Episode. Im letzten Teil der Episode nehmen Co-Hosts Jonas Groß und Michael Blaschke Entwicklungen rund um digitale Zentralbankwährungen (CBDCs) von Seiten der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB) unter die Lupe. Zunächst hat die EZB ihre Wholesale-CBDC Trials abgeschlossen – letztendlich kam es zu Zahlungen im Wert von 1,6 Milliarden Euro. Außerdem wurde ein weiterer Fortschrittsbericht zum digitalen Euro veröffentlicht. Wie es nun weitergeht und welche Fragen noch offen sind, diskutieren die beiden in der Episode.
