This is Latino USA, the Radio Journal of News and Culture.

It's Latino USA. Welcome to the Latino USA. I'm Maria Inojosa.

We bring you stories that are underreported, but that matter to you. Overlooked by the rest of the media.

And while the country is struggling to deal with these problems,

we listen to the stories of black and Latino students.

A united Latino front, a cultural renaissance,

organizing at the forefront of the movement.

I'm Maria Inojosa. No se bayon.

Hello, Latino USA listener.

Here's an episode from our archives.

You probably recognize this tune, but the lyrics are pretty different from Bob Marley's Stir It Up.

The participants in this late-night jam session are sitting poolside. There's about 20 of them, swaying and holding hands.

It's spring of 2018 here in Rincon, Puerto Rico, a town revered for its surf spots and beaches.

But this mostly non-Portarican crowd is here to do more than just blow off some steam.

There's this one guy in the group who's grinning and swaying to the music.

You can't miss him.

He's got on a wide brim black hat like Zorro.

It's accented with playing cards and feathers.

His name is Brock Pierce, and he's sort of the main reason that these people are all here.

He's very rich, though it's impossible to know just how rich.

He's the leader of a movement, a movement that he says will change everything.

From Futuromedia and PRX, it's Latino USA. I'm Maria Inojosa. Today, the Bitcoin Pirates in the Caribbean.
