The book approaches Bitcoin from a human rights perspective, focusing on its socio-political implications and its potential to empower individuals globally by offering a democratization of capital, and enabling them to be their own banks.
I'm Dave Rubin. I am with Alex Lloyd, co-author of the little Bitcoin book Why Bitcoin Matters for Your Freedom, Finances and Future.
we came at this book from a human rights perspective. One of my co-authors, Alex Glastine is the Chief Strategy Officer of the Human Rights Foundation. And there were a lot of books out there about the technical nature and the financial nature of why Bitcoin is important. This one really gives more of a socio-political aspect.
Bitcoin is the next step, which is people can be their own banks and have their own individual freedom.
this is if you think about it, it's a way for billions of people to exchange and store value without having any government or company involved in it. And that's a very powerful idea.
the book goes into why it's different from any previous type of money.
