TD₿: Bitcoin's Surprising Role in a Post Polarized World - (a Swan original video) with Trey Walsh, host of The Progressive Bitcoiner
TL;DR: Bitcoin transcends politics and offers solutions to the problems that have left many disillusioned with traditional politics. Discover why Bitcoin is for everyone, not just Wall Street.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Bitcoin is a neutral, decentralized solution that appeals to progressives and can bridge political divides. Many progressives are skeptical of Bitcoin, associating it with corporate entities like BlackRock. Trey Walsh, host of The Progressive Bitcoiner argues that Bitcoin aligns with progressive values like social justice, income equality, and environmental sustainability.
It offers financial freedom, especially for those fleeing oppressive governments, and provides a solution to avoid reliance on flawed traditional systems.
The U.S.'s right and left compete for control of the monetary system, leading to increased political division. However, Bitcoin's potential to create a sound money system could prevent economic collapse and reduce political polarization.
Enjoy!
