Left vs. Right? Bitcoin Changes the Conversation
from Ask a Bitcoiner 21 Questions · host Saidah Gomez
Why do so many conversations about injustice get trapped in left vs. right and black vs. white, while the monetary system that shapes everyday life gets ignored?In this full interview, I’m joined by Phillip D. McCombs, a Cleveland-based Bitcoiner, libertarian, and community organizer, to explore how money printing, incentives, and financial sovereignty change the way we understand politics, power, and social cohesion.What you’ll learn in this episode:Why Phillip says, “Know your history, but don’t lead with it,” and how that mindset helps you keep building.What the Cantillon Effect is, and how new money can benefit insiders first while everyone else feels rising prices later.Why Bitcoin becomes less about “number go up” and more about human rights, self-custody, and local community building.How meetups, education, and “parallel economy” efforts can help people cooperate without getting stuck in partisan theater.🎯 Seed phrase challenge (21,000 sats):This is a full-length episode, which means seed words are hidden throughout, 9 to be precise. The other 3 can be found on:X (Twitter): https://x.com/askabitcoiner21/status/2015818525223354544?s=20Phillip’s previous episodeAnd SubstackThe first person to find all 12 words can recover the wallet and 21,000 sats are yours.
