Bitcoin and Black Lives Matter: Is Racism the Root Problem?
Isaiah Jackson is the author of the book 'Bitcoin and Black America'. Aleks Svetski is the founder of The Amber App, an app that allows users to make regular purchases of bitcoin (Dollar Cost Average), as well as an outspoken critic of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement and other collectivist ideologies. As with so many social issues these days, it seems as though conversations which discuss both causes and potential solutions that are counter to the mainstream narrative, are not only unpopular, but are in many cases derided, ignored, or banned altogether. This conversation was an attempt to have an open conversation about the root causes of some of the social issues society is facing today, with a focus on the BLM movement, and a discussion about what we believe is the most effective potential solution -- bitcoin. If you get offended when people express opinions and ideas that are different then your own, this likely won't appeal to you. If you'd like to hear some calm and reasoned discourse about these issues, from people of diverse backgrounds, who are genuinely seeking the best solutions available, perhaps you'll enjoy it.
