Episode 105 Blocks off the Chain

To continue the conversation about alternative currencies and wrap up the topic of duel power building we look at Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin got a lot of hype but one socialist writer makes the case that it has a place in our toolkit for building socialism. We also bookend the episode with takes from an actual liberal elite outlet on the US Dollar and Trump’s richer followers.
