Summary

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by eToro, we meet with Alex Gladstein of the Human Rights foundation. We do a deep compare and contrast of the U.S. monetary policy and Bitcoin’s monetary policy, and ultimately uncover why Bitcoin matters for your future, freedom, and finances. We discuss a lot about how Bitcoin, the one world currency, can bring freedom and power to the disenfranchised, and what a future global society built with Bitcoin looks like. Check out his book, The Little Bitcoin Book, available on Amazon!

What's up, Crypt Nation? This is Pizza Mind here with Bryce Paul. And today our very special guest is Alex Gladstein, the chief strategy officer of the Human Rights Foundation.

0:21.6

This is not your typical crypto broadcast where we bring in a founder or CEO to talk about

0:27.6

what kind of emerging tech they're building.

Rather, this is someone who's actually using the tech and applying it to make the world a better place.

0:36.6

We ran into him at the Bitcoin is a meetup in Los Angeles and his speech was really, really

because today about four billion people, billion with the B, live under some sort

1:30.1

of authoritarian regime.

1:31.3

And we can make jokes about how repressive, you know, the United States and Europe are.

1:38.4

And when we study Bitcoin, we learn more about financial privacy, and there's a lot of
