John Perkins now has Bitcoin and ... sees Bitcoin as a potential solution to some of the Global South->Global North wealth extraction he wrote about in his Bestselling book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" Would not have happened without @HRF. When they supported me to do more documenting humanitarian benefits of Bitcoin earlier this year, @Bitcoin_phan from @BitcoinMagazine asked, given my new focus, if I wanted to do a fireside chat with John at Bitcoin 2025. I said yes, and John and I ended up becoming good friends. We chat every couple of weeks about Bitcoin, and a bunch of other things. This is how we change the world: one conversation at a time. But it takes organizations like HRF to catalyze conversations that otherwise would never have happened. Big thanks to @gladstein, @ck_SNARKs, @femilonge et al.(Daniel Batten)
