Censorship, the Political Pendulum, and Why EVERYONE Need Bitcoin - Adam O'Brien (Bitcoin Talk on THE Bitcoin Podcast)

"Everyone just gets gravity. Everyone gets the protocol and we all live within that. And that's a rule without rulers. And I think Bitcoin is like gravity where it's just everyone gets free and open source money. Everyone gets programmable money, programmed and designed to maintain its purchasing power. And that's a rule." On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Adam O'Brien, the founder & CEO of Bitcoin Well. We talk about Adam’s experience getting debanked by every bank in Canada, why fiat absolutely sucks, financial censorship, short-term fiat thinking vs long term bitcoin thinking, the political implications of separating money from state, the Bitcoiner ethos, family, why you need Bitcoin, and a whole lot more.
