LTB #365 - El Petro and Money That Doesn't Work

On Today's Episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin... Andreas, Stephanie, Jonathan and Adam are joined by Alejandro (https://twitter.com/alegw), an outspoken native Venezuelan who has been following El Petro since the beginning. We talk about the supposedly oil backed, supposedly decentralized cryptocurrency... If and how national cryptocurrencies could be done right... And how the bitcoin community who are on the outside looking in can help by donating to a cryptocurrency endowment (https://alumnusb.org/donate/), keeping up with or supporting local journalism (https://www.caracaschronicles.com/) and more.
