THE VILLAGE AND THE STRONGMAN by Alex Gladstein -...

Bitcoin Magazine Podcast ·

2021/09/22

"What is clear from visiting El Zonte and talking to the community leaders is that Bitcoin is not something you can sprinkle on a town and make it come to life. Alone, it is not a sufficient tool to empower a population. Yes, it is true that Bitcoin helped a small village change the world. But without Valenzuela, without Martinez, without Peterson, without Mama Rosa, and without entrepreneurs willing to take risks like Rubio and Karla, no change would have happened."

2021/08/23

"Long before we had the Bitcoin energy debate, we had the gold resource cost debate. The contours were similar: the costs associated with gold refining and extraction were a waste; they were too great relative to a mere fiat standard in which notes could be printed for virtually nothing." In his first piece written for Bitcoin Magazine, Nic Carter discusses the history of the debate about the gold standard and compares it to the more modern to the debate about Bitcoin and energy costs.

It is often difficult for people to get into Bitcoin without already being primed to align with one of Bitcoin’s strange attributes. Parker Lewis described Bitcoins strangeness as “being counterintuitive, and then hyper-intuitive” after one puts in enough work to understand it.

The majority of the plant does not have access to basic financial services. Our current systems are permissioned, gated, antiquated and corrupt. Finance has been the limiting factor for the majority of the world's people. People are unable to save, they are unable to invest, and they are unable to grow. This forces them into wasting time and energy to conserve value and just stay at zero. There is a tremendous amount of room for improvement in finance around the world. Mauricio thinks that Bitcoin

Payments on the internet have always been a weakness.
