Our guest today brings a refreshing utopian vision to the show: fix the money, fix the world. How do we fix it? With Bitcoin. Pierre Rochard (@pierre_rochard), Bitcoin Product Manager at Kraken, joined host Scott Melker at Bitcoin Miami to discuss why CBDC is contrary to America’s core beliefs, the capital gains tax issue, FUD cycles, and how Bitcoin will fix our money headaches for good.
