“I want people to become more curious about Bitcoin, even if they just want to prove it wrong.” - @alana My guest today is Alana Mediavilla. Alana is an award-winning filmmaker, producer, director, writer, founder, mother & wife, having previously produced content for some of the largest tech brands including Google and now as founder and CEO of Filmkik, a remote video production company. Alana joined me to discuss her short film Stranded, focussing on Bitcoin miners monetizing stranded energy for good, and upcoming film Dirty Coin, a bitcoin mining documentary. We talk about the impacts of bitcoin mining, misconceptions around its energy use and environmental impact, and how Bitcoin serves as a monetary lifeline for people in restricted economies. We discuss privacy and technology, and Alana shares with us her creative motivations, life lessons for being a creative and filmmaker, the balance in everything. Link in bio image

🚨 Spoiler alert: Big Banks are no friend to social change and financial freedom “I don’t think [BlackRock] is going to come in and fight for the little guy, fight for the unbanked, fight for the underbaked, because all they want to do is continue making money.” @gck View quoted note →

"There's a level of complete systematic subversion that buried into Bitcoin that even our most excited individuals aren't too excited about." - George Kaloudis My guest today is @gck George is an author and former analyst at CoinDesk. We have an in-depth discussion about Bitcoin's potential role in empowering disenfranchised progressives and leftist causes, including Bitcoin's appeal to millennials facing economic struggles, skepticism about institutions like BlackRock promoting Bitcoin investment, and predictions for Bitcoin adoption among a more mainstream audience. George discusses lessons learned in the crypto media landscape, the importance of stepping back and away, and Bitcoin's ideological neutrality and its as-yet-unrealized potential as a tool for progressive political activism.

On this #MLK Day, the FBI has the audacity to post a message "honoring" Dr. King. In1963, FBI Domestic Intelligence Chief William Sullivan sent King a nasty letter, encouraging him to commit suicide. We won't forget, and we'd like to think Dr. King would've really loved #Bitcoin - decentralized, money for the people - not controlled by the government or wealthy elite - resistance money built for social movements/peaceful protest - opt out of a petrodollar war currency

Tomorrow, my conversation with @gck on signal v noise drops. How do we get out of our echo-chambers? What can, and can't, #Bitcoin fix? What are we to think about Wall Street showing up and advocating for #Bitcoin? George has great takes on this and more.
