What Does Bitcoin Fix? With American HODL - WBD693

American HODL is an OG Bitcoiner who has been promoting the
innovation for over 8 years. In this interview, we discuss a
whole range of topics from free speech, the idea of a Bitcoin
citadel, scaling Bitcoin and the race to hyperbitcoinisation.

Back in June, American HODL tweeted “If you’re new, you may not
know that [Balaji Srinivasan] offered up the concept of voice vs
exit back in ‘15. Voice = interior reform. Exit = voting with
feet. Since then exit has become the rallying cry for many.
Balaji and other proponents have already left. Here’s why I’m
staying…”


Is the concept of voting with your feet and leaving the city,
state or country that is your home defeatist? Instead, should we
be concentrating on staying, and reforming our own communities?


The degree to which a distorted currency distorts reality is
certainly underappreciated outside of Bitcoin, and the wide
ranging implications of Bitcoin as a global monetary system are
yet to be seen, but rather than exiting the system, by staying
and cleaning it up we will see what Bitcoin can actually fix.
