The promise of "cryptocurrency" and its potential for good has been highly lauded. But oftentimes, we find it difficult to talk about the practical application of this new freedom-enabling technology.
In "Bitcoin and Black America," Isiah Jackson offers an outline of practical applications that individuals can take to begin to build a more freedom enabled future. Specifically, Isiah offers a critique of the traditional banking system and provides an argument as to why he believes black Americans ought to adopt virtual currencies such as bitcoin.
In this video I offer my thoughts on Isiah's debut book. Although I do not agree with everything Isiah talks about (specifically, I do not advocate the use of any "cryptocurrency" outside of bitcoin). Nonetheless, I believe individuals ought to be able to elect to join whichever digital economy best reflects their values and beliefs. More importantly, I believe in the promise of STRONG PROPERTY RIGHTS secured in the digital age through the use of Bitcoin (and other potential digital currencies that might come along)
