Why We Need Bitcoin. Bitcoin Tech Talk #235

I prepared these remarks for the Texas Summit over the weekend and am publishing it again here.

It’s been said that “You don’t just move to Texas. Texas moves into you.” I can attest to this as I’m not a native Texan. Texas to me means freedom, liberty and the right to tell others to get off my lawn. We Texans care deeply about our liberties, and as we’ve seen this past year, our liberties are under threat. 

There are many reasons why, but the reason that I want to talk about is money, specifically the monetary system that we all live under.
