Bitcoin researcher @ SFU Vancouver. Want to take part in the study? Message me!

Currently re-reading Resistance Money by Bailey, Rettler, and Warmke. Three professors arguably taking an academic risk by promoting btc. On resisting censorship they write:

Censorship blocks the free flow of expression, which is usually digital today. “Most financial transactions occur as glorified digital messages. As expressions, they too, can be censored. By blocking people from “speaking” freely in the financial world, authorities impede the free flow of value. This is financial censorship.” #bitcoin #resistancemoney #currentlyreading

I'll be volunteering at nostr:nprofile1qyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnxwfskxarpd35h5ety9ehx2ap0qyv8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvdec8ymmc0yhx7un89uqzpdez8r8t0me4glmf39cmwh965z6nq8ugdyym6t7v5zftdx8r7m5t7v7xyv in Vancouver Aug 16-17. Tickets are still availabe for this event! Come and learn how to use bitcoin wallets, exchanges, cold storage, and more. #bitcoin #vancouver

I am excited to begin using Nostr as my primary social media platform for all things bitcoin. I began studying bitcoin and blockchain as a master's student at SFU in Vancouver in 2017 and have not stopped since. For my PhD dissertation, I am investigating bitcoin discourse, adoption, and use cases in the context of its increasing popularity and mainstream acceptance. I have interviewed some incredibly intelligent, hardworking, and fascinating people in the space and I am excited to eventually share my findings with fellow bitcoiners.
