TPB58 - Bitcoin's Bullish Case for Humanity with nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu is out now.
"Bitcoin has tremendous promise to penetrate some of the inertia and perpetual suffering we see in the world."
Alex is Chief Strategy Officer at the Human Rights Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit which promotes and protect democracy & human rights around the world, with a focus on authoritarian regimes. He is the author of "Check Your Financial Privelege" and his latest book "Hidden Repression: How the IMF and World Bank Sell Exploitation as Development." In this episode we discusses how Bitcoin can serve as a tool for freedom and empowerment around the world. Alex talks about Bitcoin's ability to help activists and democratic movements resist authoritarian abuses, evade censorship, bypass the global inequities of the existing financial system, protect individual liberties, and shift power away from centralized governments back towards ordinary people and communities. We also get into some current global affairs, and the exciting moment in history we are in concerning bitcoin and censorship resistant technologies' future. Alex was instrumental for me early on in my bitcoin journey, helping me understand Bitcoin's human rights angle through his interviews and writings, so it was an honor to have him on the show.
