Скачать или смотреть Would Mao Hold Bitcoin? With Roger Huang

Recorded Friday, July 19, 2024

"The fact that [Bitcoin] is used throughout the world in so many places now, I think speaks to how it resonates, and how useful it is and the need to dilute the power of tyrants wherever they are." - Roger

My guest today is Roger Huang. Roger is an author and journalist having previously written for TechCrunch, VentureBeat, and currently is a contributor for Forbes. In this episode we discuss his new book, “Would Mao Hold Bitcoin?: The Past, Present and Future of Bitcoin in Techno-Nationalist China.” We explore China's complex relationship with Bitcoin, from government bans to citizen adoption, how Hong Kong's crypto policies reflect broader tensions, and Bitcoin's potential as a tool for resistance against state control.
