What To Do When Your Country Bans Bitcoin with Alejandro Machado, Boaz Sobrado, Francis Pouliot, Matt Odell & Hector Rosekrans
"Regulators should realize that if we get financial sovereignty into the hands of people oppressed by authoritarian regimes... they will be able to push back against this oppression" -Matt Odell
"I am not a huge fan of the narrative that says, let the government do whatever it wants and we will be fine because we simply do not have the tools for that (yet)" -Francis Pouliot
"Part of what makes BTC valuable is that everyone can use it." -Boaz Sobrado
"The pools can't really censor all transactions. They can only make some transactions slower." -Francis Pouliot
"We need Bitcoin companies to care about serving specific populations. If you are not a company that cares about Venezuelan customers, they will ignore them." -Alejandro Machado
"I think every user should CoinJoin before and after sending [Bitcoin] to exchanges." -Francis Pouliot
"One of the key things is that users need to care, they need to realize they have the need to have better privacy." -Matt Odell
"I think the #1 thing I learned from seeing Cuban Bitcoiners operate is that people there just want [Bitcoin] to work... It is also very P2P." -Boaz Sobrado
Francis Pouliot, "People have been "de-responsiblized" so much the idea of controlling your money is very daunting."

#Bitcoin brings personal responsibility back.

@GuyHirsch @Breedlove22 @jimmysong @TheCryptoconomy
@GuyHirsch @Breedlove22 @jimmysong @TheCryptoconomy "Why the moral case?"-Guy Swann

"People have values, people have desires to make the world better... so making a moral case is much more about showing the product of the possibilities of what Bitcoin is instead of saying it is good for you because 'Number Go Up.'" -Jimmy Song
@GuyHirsch @Breedlove22 @jimmysong @TheCryptoconomy "The most important game in the world which is money, is corrupt... that actually corrupts our morality" -Robert Breedlove
