Building a Bitcoin Future with Francis Pouliot | Bitcoin Infinity Show #151

In this episode, Knut talks with Francis Pouliot (CEO and co-founder of Bull Bitcoin, one of Canada’s leading Bitcoin-only exchanges) about his journey into Bitcoin and its impact on society and politics. We talk about how Bitcoin gives people more financial freedom, the problems with traditional money, and why it's hard to explain Bitcoin to beginners. Francis highlights the value of meetups, decentralized technology, and using Bitcoin in everyday life. They also discuss the ethics of money and what makes Bitcoin different from other cryptocurrencies. Through personal stories and insights, the conversation focuses on a future where people have more control over their own money with Bitcoin.
