Emancipation From Financial Patriarchy with Anita Posch - WBD423

Location: Remotely
Date: Thursday 11th November
Project: anitaposch.com
Role: Author, Podcaster, Educator


It’s easy to forget that those who have acquired Bitcoin are
still early adopters, with the enthusiasm and courage to have
found the appropriate resources needed to investigate this still
nascent and mysterious creation. 


However, the key to the next wave of Bitcoin adoption,
encompassing a wider cross section of society, is education
specifically tailored to the needs of later adopters. For these
people Bitcoin is surrounded in myths and impenetrable concepts.


This is precisely the goal of Anita Posch’s new book (L)earn
Bitcoin. It provides both the why, and the how, and is written
for those to whom Bitcoin is a vague alien technology. Most
importantly, the book provides guidance on how to take those
initial steps to build confidence, and critically, safely buy and
store bitcoin.


Anita is also well known for being a leading Bitcoin educator in
parts of the world for which sovereign wealth is literally life
changing. In particular, Anita has travelled throughout Africa,
teaching people with limited resources how to acquire and use
Bitcoin. She is particularly focused on supporting vulnerable
groups of women around the world for whom denial of sovereign
wealth is culturally or even legally condoned. 


In this interview I talk to fellow Bitcoin podcaster, author,
advocate, and educator Anita Posch. Anita explains how Bitcoin
provides emancipation from financial patriarchy at both the
individual level and nation state level. We also talked about
Anita’s educational work in Africa, the importance of building
bridges and trust with communities in developing nations.
