Buy Fergus Hodgson's "The Latin America Red Pill" on Amazon! Kindle: https://amzn.to/4fAv4An Paperback: https://amzn.to/49Q01zd After adopting bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador in June 2021, President Nayib Bukele has agreed to reform the Bitcoin Law to access a US$1.3 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund. Bukele's government has been negotiating with the IMF for three years. Initially, the IMF firmly rejected any deal so long as El Salvador continued recognizing bitcoin as legal tender. However, in recent negotiations, Bukele has used the Bitcoin Law as a strategic tool, turning it into an asset in his favor. As a result, El Salvador is set to soon receive IMF funds without losing its Bitcoin Law. Read the article: https://impunityobserver.com/2024/12/18/how-nayib-bukele-imf-with-bitcoin-bargaining-chip/

Nelson Rauda, Salvadoran journalist for El Faro, comes to talk about the impact of Bitcoin in El Salvador, the needs of Salvadoran people, Bitcoin City and the Bitcoin Bond, and much more. Show highlights: Nelson's story and how he began covering BTC what kind of politician and president Nayib Bukele was before BTC what the financial reality was for Salvadoran people before the implementation of BTC the reasons for the high rates of unbanked people in El Salvador how Bukele changed the monetary policy with what Rauda says was very little discussion why Rauda believes the BTC law is not meant for Salvadorans, but instead is a PR stunt how people reacted after the announcement of BTC as legal tender, and how it resembled the dollarization of the economy in 2001 how Nelson did not even understand BTC at the moment of the announcement and how he says there was not an effort from the government to educate the population whether BTC was successful in attracting investments and tourism, and how there's no hard data about it why Nelson believes Bukele was trying to hide the scandals when he adopted BTC whether BTC has been used as a PR stunt why bitcoiners are enthusiastic about an authoritarian government adopting BTC as legal tender how Bukele might be undermining his own authority by adopting BTC, a type of money that is not controlled by a state whether the Chivo wallet is a surveillance tool why Nelson believes BTC does not represent a solution for the needs of average Salvadoran people whether the $30 dollar initial gift to download the BTC wallet was seen as just another subsidy the status of Bitcoin City and how Nelson believes it represents the most spectacular PR stunt from Bukele's administration how the expensive prices of electricity in El Salvador make the country not the best place for mining the significance of Bitcoin Beach what the BTC bond is, what Bukele tried to achieve with it, and why it has been postponed whether El Salvador will default on its debt and what the impact of the BTC price has on the national finances and on how Salvadorans perceive Bitcoin how Nelson believes people in El Salvador do not have political freedom and how it contradicts the narrative of financial freedom that BTC aims to provide what Nelson thinks about Bitcoin and whether governments should adopt it as legal tender Thank you to our sponsors!

Show highlights: Nelson's story and how he began covering BTC what kind of politician and president Nayib Bukele was before BTC what the financial reality was for Salvadoran people before the implementation of BTC the reasons for the high rates of unbanked people in El Salvador how Bukele changed the monetary policy with what Rauda says was very little discussion why Rauda believes the BTC law is not meant for Salvadorans, but instead is a PR stunt how people reacted after the announcement of BTC as legal tender, and how it resembled the dollarization of the economy in 2001 how Nelson did not even understand BTC at the moment of the announcement and how he says there was not an effort from the government to educate the population whether BTC was successful in attracting investments and tourism, and how there's no hard data about it why Nelson believes Bukele was trying to hide the scandals when he adopted BTC whether BTC has been used as a PR stunt why bitcoiners are enthusiastic about an authoritarian government adopting BTC as legal tender how Bukele might be undermining his own authority by adopting BTC, a type of money that is not controlled by a state whether the Chivo wallet is a surveillance tool why Nelson believes BTC does not represent a solution for the needs of average Salvadoran people whether the $30 dollar initial gift to download the BTC wallet was seen as just another subsidy the status of Bitcoin City and how Nelson believes it represents the most spectacular PR stunt from Bukele's administration how the expensive prices of electricity in El Salvador make the country not the best place for mining the significance of Bitcoin Beach what the BTC bond is, what Bukele tried to achieve with it, and why it has been postponed whether El Salvador will default on its debt and what the impact of the BTC price has on the national finances and on how Salvadorans perceive Bitcoin how Nelson believes people in El Salvador do not have political freedom and how it contradicts the narrative of financial freedom that BTC aims to provide what Nelson thinks about Bitcoin and whether governments should adopt it as legal tender Thank you to our sponsors!

On today's special edition of the CoinMarketRecap podcast with Connor Sephton, all the latest from CMC's first-ever conference in the metaverse. We'll be hearing what some of the crypto world's biggest names think about the most important issues facing the industry right now. Binance's CZ and Kraken's Dan Held give us top tips about surviving in a bear market… and Michael Saylor reveals why he has no regrets despite the value of MicroStrategy's Bitcoin falling by $4 billion. We'll also hear passionate debate about whether altcoins are worthless — and whether algorithmic stablecoins should be banished forever after the shocking collapse of UST. Plus, Samson Mow admits El Salvador's Bitcoin Law could be reversed… and explains why it's so important that the country's experiment is successful. He also reveals which countries might be next to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, which ones aren't, and whether a nation might make an altcoin its official currency instead. You can follow us on Twitter — @ConnorSephton and @CoinMarketCap.
The full interview with President Nayib Bukele, undertaken days after the Bitcoin Law became effective on September 7th 2021, sections of which were included in my film “Follow The Money #1 - Bitcoin in El Salvador”. In this interview, we discuss motivation, opposition and legacy. - - - - A few days following Bitcoin being given legal status, I was granted an exclusive access interview with President Bukele for the purposes of my film “Follow The Money #1 - Bitcoin in El Salvador”. Following the release of the film, it is time to publish the full interview. It has been over 8 months since El Salvador became the first country in the world to make Bitcoin legal tender. A lot has been written about El Salvador's Bitcoin Law, and a lot has happened since. But what was it like to be at the centre of this unprecedented event? An event that could change not just El Salvador's future, but also Bitcoin's and the rest of the world. The discussion covers President Bukele's enthusiasm for what Bitcoin can do for his country and his people; the incredible timescale within which the law was passed (it was a mere 3 months from being enacted to becoming law); the strategy behind the country's purchases of Bitcoin; internal and external opposition; and the plan behind the articles of the Bitcoin Law. As background noise to all these changes is vocal concerns about authoritarian actions Bukele is taking; he has removed judges, influenced a change in the constitution to enable a potential second term, had troops enter parliament, and implemented stern policies aimed at reducing gang violence. The term “dictator” is banded around. Nevertheless, he is an extremely popular president: he has an approval rating of 85%. Many citizens, sick of the years of violence and corruption, are pleased to finally see a decisive Salvadoran President. Could he become a beacon for the wider region? Could he be the leader of the Bitcoin age?
“I don't think it's going to work, I'm sure it's going to work. Because the fundamentals are there. We can have some bumps in the road like everything… but, the fundamentals are the same. And it's going to work because the philosophy of it is right. Just give it time. It's going to work for El Salvador, it's going to work for Bitcoin, it's going to work for the world.”— Nayib BukeleThe full interview with President Nayib Bukele, undertaken days after the Bitcoin Law became effective on September 7th 2021, sections of which were included in my film “Follow The Money #1 - Bitcoin in El Salvador”.

In this episode of Keiser Report, Max and Stacy look at the inflation ‘blame game.' Headlines suggest everything from greedy CEOs to Saudi royals as the cause of all the high prices consumers are experiencing. It's *definitely* not the money printing! In the second half, Max chats to bitcoin developer and entrepreneur Jimmy Song, author of the new book 'Bitcoin and the American Dream.' The two discuss Jimmy's impressions of El Salvador under its new Bitcoin Law.

Location: London Date: Tuesday 9th November Project: Bitcoin Magazine Role: Print Editor-In-Chief When I first visited El Salvador, towards the end of 2019, Michael Petersen was in the early stages of implementing his vision of a local bitcoin economy in the coastal village of El Zonte. What started as a small-scale experiment has become a transformative initiative and a key driver in the country's adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender. On 7th June 2021, El Salvador passed the Bitcoin Law, with an ambitious plan to replicate El Zonte nationwide and make Bitcoin a central part of El Salvador's economy. Nayib Bukele, the Salvadoran President, mandated an ambitious 3-month deadline to implement the Law. And, despite the complete lack of both public and private infrastructure, on 7th September 2021, El Salvador became the first country in the world to make Bitcoin legal tender. In this interview, I talk to journalist and Print Editor-In-Chief at Bitcoin Magazine, Aaron Van Wirdum. We discuss the implementation of the Bitcoin law, what has changed in El Salvador and which nation-states might follow in their footsteps.

Not long after El Salvador implemented a new law mandating the acceptance of Bitcoin by merchants and airdropping some to every citizen, Panama has since proposed its own crypto law. In contrast, however, Panama's new law is much less heavy-handed and more voluntary, is generic to cryptocurrency including explicit mentions of Ethereum, and goes into territory such as decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). More importantly though, this kicks off an "arms race" of competition between jurisdictions to offer the most complete crypto regulatory framework. This could be the beginning of a new era!

This past March, he cemented his place 'among the top three most valuable living artists' after his collage of JPEGs, 'Everydays: The First 5000 Days,' sold as a non-fungible token (NFT) at Christie's auction house for $69 million. Before this sale, he typically sold prints for an average of $100 each. Artists are finding a new market for their work with NFTs, and some are even experiencing life-changing financial freedom.https://www.kitco.com/news/2021-09-12/Is-gold-dead-Bitcoin-price-to-hit-levels-we-cannot-imagine-Ronald-Peter-Stoeferle.htmlIs gold dead? Bitcoin price to hit levels we 'cannot imagine'- Ronald-Peter StoeferleGlobal financial markets have reached a "monetary tipping point", according to Ronald-Peter Stoeferle, managing partner of Incrementum AG.After this tipping point, inflation will continue to climb up, real interest rates will remain in negative or near-zero percent territory, and monetary policy will become less impactful for the markets than fiscal policy; this will be an era of fiscal dominance.Stoeferle told David Lin that "the sentiment [for gold] is already that negative that the price can go to new all-time highs within the next couple of months, so we are not so far away."https://ambcrypto.com/bitcoin-isnt-far-from-its-peak-but-heres-some-hodling-advice-for-investors/Bitcoin isn't far from its peak, but here's some HODLing advice for investorsBitcoin's market has seen quite a few flash crashes over the years. In fact, they've sort of become an inevitable tradition at this stage. The one that took place on 7 September managed to instill fear and panic in the minds of relatively new market participants.This, in turn, resulted in weak hands selling their HODLings. What did others do? Well, market participants who've seen such crashes in the past resorted to adding more coins.https://luxurylaunches.com/celebrities/the-ugly-truth-of-insta-bragging.phpFrom getting robbed of millions to even losing their lives – These influencers and Bitcoin traders have paid a very heavy price for flaunting excessive wealth on Instagram. Insta-bragging! Urban dictionary describes the term as the immediate posting of self-congratulatory photos on Instagram with the sole intention of inspiring jealousy among followers. The idea is becoming more overpowering than the app itself. Social media influencers may be rousing envy in several followers, and unfortunately, these feelings aren't the only emotions they stir. In addition to adoring fans, the flash of instant wealth by Bitcoin traders and Insta-influencers also attracts robbers and criminal gangs that do more harm than just take a few freebies away.https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/https://coinmarketcap.com/Please subscribe, like, and share so that more and more people can view this content.DISCLAIMER: I will never give any financial advice.

This week's CoinMarketRecap podcast with Connor Sephton is an El Salvador special. As the country became the first in the world to embrace Bitcoin as legal tender, the crypto community was in a celebratory mood. But the rollout was tainted by technical difficulties and protests… and overshadowed by one of the worst market crashes of 2021 so far.We'll explain all of this news in an easy-to-understand way. A crypto enthusiast will join us from El Salvador to explain the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead — and tell us whether the government's newly launched Bitcoin wallet is up to the job.Crypto journalist and author David Gerard, who is critical of President Nayib Bukele's move, explains why he thinks the Bitcoin Law is bad for the country.CoinMarketCap's Molly Jane Zuckerman is here with a roundup of this week's other crypto headlines.Blockchain engineer David Mihal joins us to explain why more than $800 million worth of Ether has been burned.And a year after R&B star Akon laid the first ceremonial stone of his ambitious crypto-powered city, West Africa journalist Emmet Livingstone gives us an update on how the project is going.

Mike Peterson runs the Twitter handle @Bitcoinbeach and helped start that initiative in El Zonte, El Salvador. Many point to this community-led movement as instrumental in offering a playbook that made possible the adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador on June 8, 2021. That law goes into effect today (September 7, 2021). As Bitcoin Beach has been Changing the Tide in terms of Lightning Network adoption in El Salvador, it is coinciding with some rather interesting positive side effects. People who generally could not think in terms of savings have begun to do so. The virtuous cycle of growth on Lightning Network leading to growth in cellular service, leading back to growth on Lightning. And more. We also talked about: *Why he's hoping for a slow rollout of the Bitcoin Law *Most of Mike's life being preparation for understanding Bitcoin *Bitcoin Beach's origin as a community-led initiative *What most in financially privileged positions miss about the importance of Bitcoin and Lightning Network in areas locked out of the G7 financial system *How Galoy is miles ahead because of their help developing Bitcoin Beach's Wallet *Why lack of Internet access is a misguided critique of the new Bitcoin Law due to high levels of smartphone penetration and improvements in smartphone tech *The power of Lightning Network, how it's bringing benefits to people in places like El Salvador, and how this wave may make it back to the shores of traditional centers of power **Note: Nothing in this podcast constitutes financial or legal advice.

On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, we talk Coinbase 2FA slipups, the normalization of Ethereum consensus failures, anti-bitcoin protests in El Salvador, and IMF & CCP critiques of bitcoin. Lastly, we encourage Colin to stop farting on people on planes.Customers of leading United States crypto exchange Coinbase have spent the weekend panicking after the exchange mistakenly sent emails to users stating that their two-factor authentication (2FA) settings had been changed. On Friday, Coinbase accidentally sent the email to 125,000 of its customers, resulting in widespread public backlash. Coinbase took to Twitter on Sunday to apologize for the mishap, stating, 'œWe're laser-focused on building trust and security into the crypto community so that the open financial system we all want is a reality. We recognize that issues like this can hurt that trust.' Despite Coinbase's apology, many of its users reported taking significant measures in response to the email while fearing that their accounts were being targeted by hackers, including overhauling security settings and liquidating their crypto holdings. Comments on the exchange's social media also suggest that numerous customers were unable to access the Coinbase app for several days after the incident. 'œWe will continue to work to gain back the trust of every one of our customers who was impacted by those notifications,' Coinbase added. The firm also announced it is reimbursing users with $100 worth of Bitcoin (BTC). '" https://cointelegraph.com/news/users-panic-after-coinbase-mistakenly-sends-2fa-reset-notices-to-customersEthereum experienced a chain split due a number of network validators, also called nodes, failing to upgrade their software. On Aug. 24, the developer team behind the popular Ethereum software client Geth released an emergency hotfix to a security vulnerability in its code that would have prevented certain users from producing blocks. The Go Ethereum team had disclosed a vulnerability on Aug. 18, saying they would release a patch, but did not specify the exact nature of the vulnerability in an effort to prevent an attack: 'œThe exact attack vector will be provided at a later date to give node operators and dependent downstream projects time to update their nodes and software,' wrote Ethereum team lead Pƒter Szilƒgyi in Aug. 24 GitHub patch notes. However, it would seem some users identified the exploit that was hotfixed by the Geth team and are currently exploiting older versions of the Geth software. Though the Geth team emphasized that all users should upgrade their software immediately, only about 30% of users upgraded to the latest version, according to data from ethernodes.org. As background, Geth is the most relied-upon software to connect to the Ethereum blockchain, being run by roughly 75% of the users. This is not the first time Ethereum has experienced a chain split due to users running outdated versions of Geth. In November, the Ethereum network saw a similar disturbance after users failed to upgrade to the latest Geth release, version 1.10.X. At the time, Geth developers said the event was due to a lack of communication about the urgency of the upgrade. '" https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2021/08/27/ethereum-faces-chain-split-as-node-operators-fail-to-update-geth-hotfix/Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of El Salvador to raise their voices against President Nayib Bukele's decision to make Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) legal tender. What Happened: On Sept 7, Bukele will introduce the much-debated Bitcoin Law in the country. According to the text of this Law, all economic agents must accept Bitcoin along with the dollar as a means of payment. Bukele says that the Bitcoin Law will benefit the people and save close to $400 million in remittance commissions. In addition, it will guarantee instant and more secure financial transactions. But the people of El Salvador are not entirely convinced with it. Hundreds of protesters, including workers, veterans, and pensioners, marched through San Salvador to voice their concerns about the use of cryptocurrency. They are worried that with the law, they will be paid in crypto for their pensions and welfare instead of the US dollar. There is also a concern that people don't understand the technology needed to use crypto-currency. "We know this coin fluctuates drastically. Its value changes from one second to another, and we will have no control over it," Stanley Quinteros, a member of the Supreme Court of Justice's workers' union, told Reuters. Protesters are wary that the introduction of Bitcoin may encourage corruption which is already seen within its borders. However, as per the law, it does not mean that everyone has to conduct their transactions in the cryptocurrency.The International Monetary Fund (IMF) heavily criticized El Salvador's decision to adopt Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) as a legal tender. Alongside a blog post published on Sunday, the IMF tweeted that the risk of "privately issued crypto assets like Bitcoin" makes it so that "making them equivalent to a national currency is an inadvisable shortcut." In its blog post, the IMF admits that digital assets "have the potential to provide cheaper and faster payments, enhance financial inclusion, improve resilience and competition among payment providers, and facilitate cross-border transfers." Still, the institution points out that creating the "requires significant investment as well as difficult policy choices." For this reason, the IMF considers adopting Bitcoin to be a shortcut on El Salvador's part: it adopted a preexistent system instead of creating a custom-made one. The institution admits that many cryptos are secure, easy to access, and cheap to transact but claims that "in most cases risks and costs outweigh potential benefits." For instance, the post claims that crypto's "value is just too volatile and unrelated to the real economy." The IMF also warned that the widespread adoption of a crypto asset such as Bitcoin could hurt macroeconomic stability. The regulator claims that "if goods and services were priced in both a real currency and a crypto asset, households and businesses would spend significant time and resources choosing which money to hold as opposed to engaging in productive activities." Furthermore, adopting crypto exposes exchange rate risk if taxes were quoted in advance in it, while expenditures remained mostly priced in fiat currency or the reverse. Lastly, the IMF raises concern that Bitcoin mining consumes "an enormous amount of electricity" and consequently, "the ecological implications of adopting these crypto assets as a national currency could be dire."This week, the People's Bank of China said Bitcoin has no value. Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies "are not legal tenders and have no actual value support," Deputy Director of the Financial Consumer Rights Protection Bureau of the People's Bank of China, Yin Youping, said in the local Chinese language press on August 27. And China is not the only one. On August 13, Russia's Central Bank called it a 'œtechnological financial pyramid scheme.' First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Russia, Sergey Shvetsov, likened buying Bitcoin to "entering a minefield" and said the local stock exchange should not list any companies that trade in Bitcoin (think the local version of Coinbase). UK central bankers said the same a month earlier, on July 18, when the Bank of England's FinTech Director, Tom Mutton, said 'œBitcoin, given its performance shortcomings and energy inefficiency, is in no way a relevant comparison for the sort of technology we might use in a central bank digital currency,' Coindesk reported him saying. And also...the US - On July 16, Jerome Powell said during testimony to Congress that the Fed's ongoing research into a digital dollar would probably just render Bitcoin obsolete. 'œYou wouldn't need stablecoins, you wouldn't need cryptocurrencies, if you had a digital dollar,' he said. And finally, Japan in late May, Bank of Japan governor Haruhiko Kuroda said Bitcoin was basically a casino chip used for highly speculative gambling - 'œNo one really uses Bitcoin as a means of settlement.'Market Rebellion '" $DOGE accounted for 17% of Robinhood's transactional revenue in Q2 '" https://twitter.com/MarketRebels/status/1428177769855336449Tascha '" If you make a NFT of a real diamond, and the diamond itself gets destroyed in a fire tomorrow, you still have the same asset.

Location: Remotely Date: Wednesday 4th August Company: Kraken Role: Growth Lead El Salvador made history by becoming the first country to embrace Bitcoin as legal tender. This bold step to adopt Bitcoin empowers Salvadorians and utilises the network's powerful technology to build a better financial future for the country. While nation-states adopting Bitcoin has been talked about for a long time amongst bitcoiners, El Salvador found itself in a unique position. The country is a dollarised nation with an incredibly popular leader. As such, President Nayib Bukele passed the Bitcoin Law with ease, but the hard part is still to come. On September 7th, all eyes will be on El Salvador. So will this bold move be a catalyst for prosperity? And will other nations follow suit? In this interview, I talk to Dan Held, the Growth Lead at Kraken. We discuss hyperbitcoinisation, El Salvador adopting Bitcoin, living on a personal Bitcoin standard and the regulatory game theory of Bitcoin adoption.

When El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, shared with the world that his “Bitcoin Law” had been approved by the nation's Congress in a supermajority vote, it was a watershed moment for the original cryptocurrency, and for cryptos generally. The adoption of a crypto coin as a parallel currency was billed as a means of mitigating the Central American nation's economic exposure to monetary policy made by another country's central bank — the U.S. Federal Reserve — and of giving Salvadorans more direct control over their own financial affairs. Now, not quite a month later, issues of financial self-determination remain in the spotlight for Samson Mow, chief strategy officer of Bitcoin technology company Blockstream. “The key here is to bring sound money to the people,” Mow told Forkast.News in a video interview. “Now, when they're earning a dollar in Bitcoin, they're getting the same hard currency and finite amount of currency that Michael Saylor would get when he invests billions into Bitcoin”. But in order for Bitcoin to succeed as a superior currency to existing fiat money, the network must be able to support micro-transactions. That's been a challenge, particularly in recent months — at their peak in April, average Bitcoin transaction fees topped US$60. “When you're spending, you don't want to pay a dollar for buying your groceries and then pay another dollar to pay for your [transaction fee],” Mow said. Layer 2 projects such as the Lightning Network and the Liquid Network are one means by which transaction fees can be lowered, as they decongest Bitcoin's main chain by moving transitions off it. “The Lightning Network is kind of like a network of bar tabs,” Mow said. “When you go to a bar and you want to order a drink, you're not going to pay for every single drink. You'll give them your card and then they'll charge you at the end of the day.” Although authorities in most countries are still grappling with the regulation of cryptocurrencies, Mow suggests that the increased adoption of Bitcoin will lead to what he calls “hyperbitcoinization” — a situation in which Bitcoin evolves is a ubiquitous currency. “At some point, you'll reach a tipping point, or inflection point, where you just cannot convert dollars into Bitcoin,” Mow said. “And at that point, your choice is to either mine Bitcoin or earn Bitcoin.” Watch Mow's full interview with Forkast.News Editor-in-Chief Angie Lau to learn more about Bitcoin's road to ubiquity, the lingering questions about the environmental impact of mining it, and how Layer 2 projects are paving the way for a Bitcoin-centric economy.
El Salvador's president announced that the Bitcoin Law will be active on September 7th. He also stated this week that every citizen could receive $30 USD worth of Bitcoin on an e-wallet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday added a warning to patient and provider fact sheets for the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines to indicate a rare risk of heart inflammation. This is a major update to those who have received doses of the vaccine, but how will this affect the stock price. Apple TV's streaming service has been struggling trying to compete with Netflix and Disney. In July there will be an end to users trial run of Apple TV service, how will this affect its stock price and the future of the platform.
In today's podcast, we discuss the recent adoption of Bitcoin in El Salvador, the events that led up to it, and the implications worldwide now that Bitcoin is legal tender. We have a critical discussion about Bitcoin toxic maximalists and whether they're good for the adoption of Bitcoin or not. We also talk about recent events surrounding Robert Breedlove and BitClout, and give our takes. We acknowledge the legendary life of John McAfee in this week's Boating Accident. We talk about the difficulty of teaching financial advisors about bitcoin, how to teach bitcoin to people more effectively, and the great importance of remembering why bitcoin is a powerful force for positive change and human rights. If you're interested in investing, economics, Bitcoin, and libertarian ideas, then this is the podcast for you!

Location: El Salvador Date: Friday 18th June Project: El Salvador Role: President Twenty years ago, El Salvador became a dollarised nation, bringing economic stability to the country and improving the country's potential for investment. However, it did so at the cost of giving up its monetary policy to the US Federal bank. Two decades later, following the COVID-19, the global economic outlook has changed significantly. As a result, the Fed has taken extreme measures to combat the economic impact of the pandemic and is printing money at previously unseen levels. The stimulus packages that help American's do not make their way to dollarised El Salvador, but the people of Salvadorans do suffer the adverse effects of the US debasing the dollar. Two years ago, Nayib Bukele won a landslide presidential election in El Salvador, becoming the first President since the Salvadoran Civil War who did not represent either of the two major parties. As the founder of the political party Nuevas Ideas, President Bukele lived up to his reputation when on the 8th of June 2021, El Salvador enacted its Bitcoin Law, making it the first country to adopt bitcoin as a legal tender. The decision has been met with excitement and scepticism. Could this bold move be a catalyst for prosperity in El Salvador? And will other nations follow suit, potentially helping billions? In his first interview since the Bitcoin law was passed, I talked to El Salvador President Nayib Bukele. We discuss the decision to make bitcoin legal tender, education & infrastructure, volcano mining, and why he believes bitcoin is a ‘no-brainer'.
“This is just exercising our sovereign right to adopt legal tenders, like we adopted the US dollar in the year 2001...the only difference probably is the reasons why we are doing this; in 2001, it was probably done for the benefit of the banks, and this decision is done for the benefit of the people.”— Nayib BukeleLocation: El SalvadorDate: Friday 18th JuneProject: El SalvadorRole: PresidentTwenty years ago, El Salvador became a dollarised nation, bringing economic stability to the country and improving the country's potential for investment.

Intro.(1:42) - Start of interview.(3:11) - Joe's take on the rise of IPOs and SPACs since 2020. "There is a level where it is all entirely rational."(4:16) - Staying private vs going public in this environment. "In today's world, companies have three alternatives: do another VC round, a SPAC or an IPO."(6:43) - On the fundraising environment: "This is historically unprecedented... due to fiscal and monetary stimulus throughout the U.S. and global economies." "But you have to combine that with the observation that we really do have some fundamental technological and economic changes going on."(8:47) - Are you bullish or bearish on the economy and markets? "I'm confused-ish"(10:46) - On Bitcoin, and the new Bitcoin Law from El Salvador (making it legal tender in that country): It has serious repercussions for US law (currency vs security, money transmission, tax implications, etc).(12:56) - On US public corporations adding Bitcoin to the corporate treasuries. On bitcoin mining ("dirty, dirty, dirty") and the distinctions between "proof of work" and "proof of stake" cryptos. On Elon's decision to not accept Bitcoin to purchase Teslas.(16:12) - On DeFi: "Once regulators figure out what's going on here, they are going to try to crush it." "You know, the SEC has no idea what to do with crypto. The SEC is asking for legislation, they're actually begging for legislation, because if you get legislation, then it's not their job. Unless (the SEC's nightmare) Congress gives the SEC all the authority it needs to regulate crypto and says to the SEC: here you go, do it."(19:30) - On DAOs: "They can lead to chaos. I mean, what is the governance structure? Each one of these has a very different governance structure. And one of the things that we know is that there's no perfect governance structure, right? If you want to over intellectualize this, go back to Ken Arrow's Impossibility Theorem where he demonstrated that there are lots of criteria we would like to see in a society and you can't simultaneously have them all. Well, you know, that's a super brainiac way of saying that governments are always going to fail to one degree or another. Putting the problem of social organization on the blockchain does not solve the problem of social organization. It simply replicates the problem on the blockchain, right? So why do people think that putting an insoluble problem on the blockchain solves the insoluble problem is an insoluble problem to me."(21:13) - On the different approach to blockchain by computer scientists and lawyers. The Stanford Center for Blockchain Research. "What can I say? The computer science people don't get sued 25 times... you know, in computer science, your equations are generally fairly well behaved. And if you write a system, you know how it's going to operate. We're lawyers, we deal with people. Not only deal with people, we deal with plaintiffs. It's a very different problem. I mean look, in engineering you're often dealing with fairly well behaved systems. If systems were well-behaved, you wouldn't need lawyers. So what can I say? I only go where there's chaos and mayhem."(22:57) - On SB-826 (gender) board diversity quota in CA: "the data suggests pretty strongly, almost conclusively, that SB-826 has worked. The number of women on corporate boards in California has increased significantly. The majority of corporations in CA are now in compliance with SB-826."(24:23) - On AB-979 (minorities) board diversity quota in CA: "figuring out the effect of the AB 979 is more difficult. It's very hard to separate that out from what I call the George Floyd effect."(25:21) - On the constitutionality of these laws: "there's a deeper mystery here. And something that I think is really more profound. If you look objectively at both pieces of legislation, and if you ask yourself, what's the probability that the U.S. Supreme court as currently composed (a 6-3 conservative majority) would find either one of these pieces of legislation is constitutional? The answer would be a resounding no." "The fascinating thing is typically when legislation is potentially unconstitutional, everybody's jumping up and down and they're suing to get it invalidated. Here, not only is that not happening, but the vast majority of corporations are complying with legislation."(27:33) - "These bills are what I would call The Miracle of Unconstitutional Legislation": "These are the most effective unconstitutional pieces of legislation that I've ever seen in American history. And I think the answer for why they've been so successful is that at least when it comes to legislating the composition of corporate boards, the majority of America is out of tune with Supreme court doctrine regarding the existence of quotas." "Diversity on corporate boards is being treated very differently to diversity in other areas of society and the parties most directly affected aren't complaining about it. It's a remarkable situation."(31:08) - On stakeholder capitalism and the BRT restatement of 2019: "This is nothing new. You always had to consider all of the constituencies, otherwise you're out of business."(34:45) - On Engine No. 1 proxy fight with Exxon Mobil: "This is huge. I think going forward, every proxy contest is going to be measured as either before Exxon or after Exxon. What it demonstrates is that in today's world, you don't need a large equity position. What you really need to understand is the story that is going to resonate with the large institutional investors. Engine No. 1 had a terrific story that resonated extraordinarily well. They had the perfect target because Exxon had built up a reputation over decades as being the most arrogant corporation in the United States. They'd basically refused to listen to institutional investors. You combine that with the big push towards ESG investing, and the fact that many institutions now feel they can't afford to be on the wrong side of ESG momentum.
