Three weeks ago I was interviewed by Jefferey Jaxen for the HighWire at Freedom Fest, California. We discussed Bitcoin, monetary changes and the future of currency around the world.
A bit more detail: we unpacked the growing tension between Bitcoin and CBDCs. I clarified the differences between Bitcoin and crypto, highlight why CBDCs represent a new layer of state financial control, and explore how governments—from El Salvador to Bhutan—are experimenting with Bitcoin as a sovereign asset. The conversation dives into bottom-up adoption, with powerful stories from places like El Salvador where circular Bitcoin economies are helping the poor build savings and self-sovereignty. We also discuss the risks of centralization in Bitcoin mining, the role of community vigilance, and how Bitcoin can empower individuals in the Global South who are leapfrogging traditional banking entirely.
