Chat_135 - Do One Thing and Do it Right with Mauricio Di Bartolomeo

"I think there's a very clear distinction between
inflation and hyperinflation.
One is a rational response to an increase in the money
supply. Right? So if the money supply is increasing by 10%, you
increase the price of your assets by 10%. That's
inflation.
Now, hyperinflation is emotional. Hyperinflation is a
forced liquidation of your assets and your currency. And you're
doing a market sell order not knowing what the price of sale is.
You just want out. You will take anything."
~ Mauricio Di Bartolomeo


Mauricio Di Bartolomeo’s story starts with the collapse of
Venezuela, but it’s not one of defeat — it’s about resilience,
conviction, and building tools for sovereignty. In this
conversation, we talk about why Ledn is returning to its
Bitcoin-only roots, why the crypto lending space is headed for
trouble, and what it actually takes to survive a bear market.


Mauricio shares how mining Bitcoin helped his family escape
hyperinflation, why capital controls are more familiar to most of
the world than freedom, and what makes a good lender when the
tide goes out. We also dig into why removing features can be a
sign of strength, not weakness — and how building slowly,
honestly, and with proof of reserves can sometimes be the real
edge.
