Show Notes

"Now what's that saying again. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you. It's starting to smell like that. Just because Bitcoin's most virtuous argument was presented – in if not bad-faith then in fig-leaf-faith – by get-rich-quick boosters, doesn't mean it isn't true! Enter the trucker protests in Canada. In just three weeks of honking, blocked streets and bridges, bouncy castles and flag waving, this peaceful protest movement managed to provoke the most shockingly authoritarian response from the Canadian government." - David Heinemeier Hansson The events of today are making it increasingly difficult to ignore the value of Bitcoin & censorship resistant money. While it was easy to dismiss in a world where western democracies appeared to be representative of their population, & while western culture seemed to protect individual rights, as we watch them so quickly and systematically dismantled, the need for Bitcoin cannot be ignored. Listen to a long time Bitcoin/Crypto skeptic begin to see why it may not be so foolish after all.
