One thing that I didn’t anticipate when I started publishing my writing was the support I’d receive from the ₿itcoin community.

But I suppose in hindsight it makes sense.

Because they’ve been calling out the government scam since the 80s (shout out to Tim May et al).

And now they’ve innovated a way to escape the fake money system using technology.

There's no question that ₿itcoin is a bulwark against the totalitarianism inherent in giving control of your money to banks and governments.

You don’t own your money.

You can’t withdraw it as cash.

You pay fees on every transaction.

You're taxed every time it changes hands.

And they'll freeze your account if you buy the wrong thing, or speak out online.

It’s all fake.

And it’s all a control mechanism.

It’s a system designed to benefit the people who create the money we use.

All of this seems obvious to me.

So I spoke about the intersection of dystopian fiction and ₿itcoin with Carri Cee.

It was a thought provoking discussion. She asks the big questions!

I’m grateful to have received the opportunity to come on.
