What Bitcoin, Human Rights, and Financial Privilege Have in Common with Alex Gladstein
13 May 2024
Author and CSO of the Human Rights Foundation, Alex Gladstein joins us to discuss his book called Check Your Financial Privilege: Inside the Global Bitcoin Revolution. According to the statistics, anyone born into a reserve currency like the dollar or euro has more financial privilege than 89% of the world population. Gladstein details the explosive rise of Bitcoin over the last 15 years. Then, he not only explains why Bitcoin is a powerful tool for people subjected to different authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, but also how it can be a real tool for freedom for the everyday person. His message is a huge wake up call to the meaning of wealth in the West and the importance of financial privacy and encryption. You won’t want to miss it!
