Read_540 – Bitcoin & the American Idea [Alex Gladstein]

“Perhaps Bitcoin can help Americans reflect on our history and remember that our true glory, in Adams’s words, is “not dominion, but liberty,” and that our true march is “of the mind” and not the sword.” – Alex Galdstein
Happy Independence Day fellow Audionauts! This is the day to celebrate the American experiment and the ideals which it sought to achieve. An ideal of “all men created equal,” individual liberties, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and so many more revolutionary principles that have been the foundation for the outlaw of slavery, the civil rights movement, & human rights movements around the world.
So where do we separate “America the idea” from “America the political system?” What was missed in the founding documents that allowed the experiment to still fail so many? Does Bitcoin have a role to play by re-empowering these core principles of individual liberty?
Another brilliant piece from Alex Gladstein & Bitcoin Magazine, don’t miss today’s show!

Chat #61 – Libertarians & Bitcoiners Sitting in a Tree…

We had an awesome discussion on Twitter spaces, getting some major Bitcoiners and Libertarians together to talk about the tools available to us in the endless fight for liberty, & why Bitcoin should be at the center of it all. Hope you guys enjoy this discussion as much as I did, and sorry for the minor audio hiccups and lack of censoring. As an open discussion there is some language so don’t have your kids around if you don’t want them to hear.

Thanks to @BranchFloridian for putting this together and hope to be able to do this again soon!
