Chat_113 - China's Surveillance State, CBDC's, Shifting Paradigms, and the Bitcoin Wildcard with Roger Huang

"Stablecoins are acting in a way where they're bottoms up
becoming a country. Countries are trying to reason with it, and
the one thing the US is starting to understand is that whatever
this thing is, it buys a ton of treasuries.

I think what is gonna end up happening is the Western block, for
a lack of a better word, they’re putting their eggs in the
stablecoin basket."
- Roger Huang



Today we bring on Roger Huang, author of "Would Mao Hold
Bitcoin," in a fascinating conversation that spans the
intricacies of China's surveillance state, the role Bitcoin
played in resistance struggles around the world, the implications
of central bank digital currencies, the stablecoin war, and the
potential for bitcoin to become a global reserve currency. This
one is not to be missed.
