From Bars to Bitcoin with Justin Rhedrick - WBD411

Location: Austin
Date: Thursday 7th October
Project: From Bars to Bitcoin
Role: Author


The power of a permissionless network means that people are able
to participate from all walks of life by removing the ability for
any individual to control your money. From billionaires on Wall
Street, to street vendors in El Salvador, it is the fairest money
the world has ever known. Bitcoin is for anyone. 


The path to bitcoin is different for everyone. While many of the
early bitcoiners found it through libertarianism, now most come
to Bitcoin, at least initially, to speculate. Justin Rhedrick's
story, however, is not like most.


After being released from prison for his role in a home invasion,
longtime friend and author of Bitcoin & Black America, Isaiah
Jackson, introduced Justin to Bitcoin. 


So how did he go from prisoner to bitcoiner?


In this interview, I talk to Justin Rhedrick, the author of From
Bars to Bitcoin. We discuss his imprisonment, the power of
discipline, and how bitcoin helped him unlock success.
