Drug Cartels using Bitcoin for illicit activity. ImageImage
Anyone who thinks cartels are using bitcoin for drug transactions is an idiot.

The only people using bitcoin this way are low level morons that don’t realize they are being tracked.
Unpopular opinion: humans should be able to transact anonymously without their governments tracking them because cartels will always find away to continue breaking the law.

If privacy is a human right so is digital privacy.
Cartels aren’t using bitcoin but the people of El Salvador are.

Bitcoin is keeping kids out of gangs, keeping families together, and giving hope to the people of El Salvador.

I talk about it with those on the ground in this episode.

This is exactly accurate. We should not be banning tools just because “bad people” use them.

Otherwise everything would be illegal.

Governments use fear to enact control. That’s why they don’t like bitcoin. They can’t control it.

I fully believe #bitcoin is the greatest invention in human history.

For 10,000 years we have been using money and for 10,000 years those in power have been corrupting the money we use.

Debasement has lead to some of the worst events in our history.

Top 3 Worst👇
The collapse of Rome occurred in part because the Silver Denarius being debased by 95% from 3.9g of silver to less than 0.2g of silver.

One impact of this was Rome’s soldiers weren’t willing to fight for worthless coins.

Rome’s frontier was vast.
This lead to quick collapse. ImageImage
The pillaging of African nations from the 1500’s - 1700’s was due to debasement.

Glass beads were seen as precious by Africans so Europeans flooded the market with these beads.

This amplified the TransAtlantic slave trade and the the removal of precious goods from Africa. ImageImage
