Today Jason welcomes Bitcoin expert Kiara Bickers. But before that, Jason talks about his concerns about cryptocurrencies, the Ukraine tragedy, the weaponizing of currencies and the foreclosure crisis.
Then Jason welcomes bitcoin expert and author of "Bitcoin Clarity," Kiara Bickers. There's a lot of noise in the crypto space involving all kinds of buzzwords and Kiara's work helps us take a step back and obtain a true understanding of all the properties of the system without having to learn how to code or be a cryptographer. Her book aims to help us understand Bitcoin at its lowest level of actual data and remove all the mysticism. Jason and Kiara also discuss the privacy implications of a digital cash, central bank digital currencies, alt coins and decentralized finance. Check out Kiara's book "Bitcoin Clarity," and find her at GetBitcoinClarity.com
