In this episode I spoke with Alex Gladstein from the Human Rights Foundation, about his article discussing the Petro Dollar in Bitcoin Magazine. Â We delve into how when Nixon took us off the gold standard we quickly switched to the Petro Dollar, where we forced the world to buy oil using USD only. Â This frankly changed the world, and made oil what the world's reserve currency was pegged to. Â Alex gets into the history of the Petro dollar, how he researched it, and how Bitcoin could be a peaceful transition off of the Petro Dollar and onto something more fair and healthy for our world. Â Check out Alex's articles below, and follow him on Twitter to see everything he is doing with the Human Rights Foundation and for future articles.
