Timothy Allen talks with Nik Oraevsky.

Today I have a fascinating show for you about monetary and personal sovereignty with Bitcoin Reserve CEO, Nik Oraevsky.

Nik wasn’t always a Bitcoin OG but his background in traditional finance has helped him to navigate the perilous regulatory environment surrounding the foundation and running of a Bitcoin company.  As a result he has excellent insights into the emerging world of cryptocurrency and freedom tech and indeed how to best isolate yourself from the barriers to freedom that he sees coming. 

In this conversation we discuss, Bitcoin regulation, the war on cash, the impending bifurcated economy, carbon scores and CBDCs, universal basic income, A.I., prepping, digital nomadism, global citizenship, emerging governance models… and I get to ask an expert in the field:

”Is Bitcoin necessary for a Free City to thrive?"

Spoiler alert: Nik’s answer might not be what you expect.

Enjoy the conversation.
