Replying to Avatar gladstein

I had the honor to interview María Corina Machado, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, about how fiat money was weaponized against the Venezuelan people by the Chávez and Maduro regimes

She says Bitcoin is a "lifeline" and "vital means of resistance" and said that a future democratic Venezuelan government will use Bitcoin to rebuild the national reserves that the Chávistas stole and put Venezuela back on a path to peace and prosperity

I've put out a lot of content in the past few years but I think this is the most important thing I've done -- the implications are vast considering a) Venezuela is one of the world's largest energy exporters with some of the world's largest oil reserves and b) María Corina Machado is not some rogue leader or dictator but a US ally

I hope you can watch 🇻🇪

Maria is ful of good itentions, but with dictatorships, the only thing that work is the use of brute force.

If you can get just 10% of the productive population moving to Bitcoin and exchanging in Lightning (cheaper/faster path on Bitcoin network) you will remove central power control.

Get all in cold storage as soon as you can. Not sure how that would work to get hardware keys.

if she had good intentions she wouldn't ally herself with violent thugs that burned cars and murdered scores of Chavistas....

I think the main error of Maria was allow the disarming of the citizen. Good people with firearms, as the americans with the second ammendment, is not easy to defeat.
