Episode 43 : Taproot and Schnorr Signatures – Bitcoin’s Privacy Upgrades

Welcome back to The Bitcoin Whisperer. I’m your host, Stephen Whitelaw and today we’re diving into one of the most important upgrades in Bitcoin’s recent history: Taproot, powered by Schnorr signatures.

These upgrades quietly enhanced Bitcoin’s privacy, efficiency, and flexibility—without changing its core principles. If SegWit laid the groundwork for scaling, Taproot opened the door to more expressive and private transaction structures.

In this episode, we’ll unpack what Schnorr signatures are, how Taproot works, and why these changes matter for everyday users, developers, and the long-term evolution of Bitcoin.
