What does financial repression look like in real time — and how are people fighting back with Bitcoin?

In this episode, I read the Human Rights Foundation’s Financial Freedom Report #67, a roundup of the latest developments in monetary control, state surveillance, and Bitcoin tools empowering those under authoritarian regimes. From currency collapses in Turkey to smart contract-enforced CBDCs in Russia, we explore the chilling precision of financial control systems being deployed around the world. But it’s not all bleak — this report also highlights powerful tools like Stratum V2 mining pools, Cashew’s tap-to-pay e-cash, and HRF-supported grassroots adoption efforts in Pakistan and beyond.

I follow the read with a Guy’s Take on the medium-of-exchange debate — and why using Bitcoin as a store of value may be more radical than it seems.
