On this week's Lions of Liberty, Marc welcomes in cryptocurrency developer and the founder of LOTUS, Tobias Ruck! Marc and Tobias first over some drinks and an exchange of some LOTUS at the Sayulita Superspreader in Sayulita, Mexico this past December. Marc and Tobias discussing the coming Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC's) - blockchain-based currencies that are on the verge of being introduced by Central Banks around the world. They discuss the flans in the "HODL" ideology promoted by many in the Bitcoin world, and why we will need to create true parallel exchange systems in order to survive outside the system of the coming CBDC's.
