$100k Bitcoin, Free Speech, Immigration, Populism | Mauricio Di Bartolomeo x Peter McCormack Podcast

Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, co-founder and CEO of Ledn, a Bitcoin and digital asset financial services platform, fled Venezuela to escape persecution by the regime and the devastating effects of economic collapse and hyperinflation.

Can Bitcoin be the answer to managed decline and inflation? In this interview we discuss the lessons from Venezuela’s economic collapse and how Bitcoin offers a pathway to financial freedom. We also cover the challenges of big government, the hidden costs of free services, and why decentralisation through Bitcoin could revolutionise economies like the UK.
