TD₿: The Real Threat of Centralization & Censorship in Bitcoin! - (a Swan original video series) with Dante Cook
TL;DR: Bitcoin is freedom money!
Hey Bitcoiner’s
In an act of war, the U.S. Government froze Russian dollar assets at the beginning of the Ukraine/Russia conflict. As of yesterday, Russia struck back by seizing over $400m in assets from JP Morgan, the biggest bank in the U.S.
In this episode of the Bitcoin Daily Show, Dante takes a closer look in the mirror at the real threat of centralization and censorship in Bitcoin mining as we highlight the importance of keeping Bitcoin decentralized, secure, and, most importantly, freedom of money.
Enjoy!
