  <description>This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Amir Taaki, founder of DarkFi, an anonymous DeFi network bridged to Ethereum.
DarkFi is an anonymous DeFi network. Its objective is to offer flexible private primitives that can be wielded to create any kind of application. DarkFi uses advances in zero-knowledge cryptography and creates a contracting language and developer toolkits aimed to make anonymous engineering highly accessible to developers. Anonymity as a design space has been hitherto unexplored. DarkFi is blowing the door to this wide open. In the open air of a fully dark, anonymous system, cryptocurrency has the potential to birth new technological concepts. This can be a creative, regenerative space – the dawn of a Dark Renaissance. 
We spoke to Amir Taaki (https://twitter.com/Narodism) about DarkFi (https://dark.fi/) and:
What is DarkFi
Cyberpunks 
Digital dictatorship
Passion 
RegFi and DarkFi
Gambling
The modern political system
Social credit score
