For this week’s interview, I spoke with Murtaza Hussain (@MazMHussain), reporter at The Intercept focused on Foreign Policy with an interest in cryptocurrency. The past year Murtaza has been researching and learning more about cryptocurrencies specifically because of its anti-imperial potential.
During the interview we spoke about how the United States specifically uses US Dollar hegemony as a weapon against other countries, the implications of countries sanctioned by the United States using bitcoin as a tool for subverting those sanctions, and how silly it is for some on the left to completely disregard the potential of cryptocurrencies for anti-imperialism and developing alternatives.
