A podcast featuring The Blockchain Socialist (TBS) discussing the pros and cons of blockchain technology and misconceptions about cryptocurrency. We critique libertarian narratives about Bitcoin, banking, and Web 3 mythology. After interrogating the problems of the crypto world and addressing the problems with Bitcoin and Ethereum , TBS tells us about the ways in which cryptocurrency and blockchain technology can be used by leftist activists and the role it could play in a sociality society.
