Podcasts: Opting Out of Unfair Systems 🔗 3 years ago

In this episode, Brad is joined by Justin Rhedrick, a.k.a Bitcoin Vegan. As a Bitcoin maximalist, a black man, and an ex-prisoner, Justin's Bitcoin story provides a unique perspective that's world's apart from that of the average Bitcoiner. After getting out of prison, Justin discovered Bitcoin through his grandfather, then his friend Isaiah Jackson (Zay). His story is one of resilience, grit, and Bitcoin at the end of the tunnel. As a guy who went to prison, the traditional system is not exactly amenable to him. Luckily, Bitcoin is a way to opt out. Tune to hear Justin's inspiring story, as well as his and Brad's takes on issues currently surrounding Bitcoin.
