Mentor Sessions Ep. 021: Bitcoin’s Fight for Freedom: Alex
Gladstein on Human Rights, IMF Debt Traps, and the Trojan Horse
Effect





What if Bitcoin isn’t just for Wall Street, but a shield for
freedom and human rights? In this explosive BTC Sessions
interview, Alex Gladstein, Chief Strategy Officer at the Human
Rights Foundation, unveils how Bitcoin empowers activism, defies
censorship, and challenges the IMF’s debt traps. From broken
economies to authoritarian regimes, it’s not about getting
rich—it’s about surviving inflation, tyranny, and financial
oppression. Gladstein reveals how giants like Vanguard and
BlackRock adopting Bitcoin unknowingly spread decentralization
and freedom technology, acting as a Trojan horse against the
International Monetary Fund’s predatory system. Discover how
Bitcoin could free nations and individuals from debt traps,
reshaping global finance and human rights. Ready to escape the
fiat matrix? Watch now for a mind-blowing take on Bitcoin’s
revolutionary power!
