Bitcoin Audible Chat_113 - China's Surveillance State, CBDC's, Shifting Paradigms, and the Bitcoin Wildcard with Roger Huang
"Stablecoins are acting in a way where they're bottoms up becoming a country. Countries are trying to reason with it, and the one thing the US is starting to understand is that whatever this thing is, it buys a ton of treasuries.
I think what is gonna end up happening is the Western block, for a lack of a better word, they’re putting their eggs in the stablecoin basket."
- Roger Huang
Today we bring on Roger Huang, author of "Would Mao Hold Bitcoin," in a fascinating conversation that spans the intricacies of China's surveillance state, the role Bitcoin played in resistance struggles around the world, the implications of central bank digital currencies, the stablecoin war, and the potential for bitcoin to become a global reserve currency. This one is not to be missed.
