Opting Out of Unfair Systems

In this episode, Brad is joined by Justin Rhedrick, a.k.a Bitcoin Vegan. As a Bitcoin maximalist, a black man, and an ex-prisoner, Justin's Bitcoin story provides a unique perspective that's world's apart from that of the average Bitcoiner. After getting out of prison, Justin discovered Bitcoin through his grandfather, then his friend Isaiah Jackson (Zay). His story is one of resilience, grit, and Bitcoin at the end of the tunnel. As a guy who went to prison, the traditional system is not exactly amenable to him. Luckily, Bitcoin is a way to opt out. Tune to hear Justin's inspiring story, as well as his and Brad's takes on issues currently surrounding Bitcoin.  Timestamps 00:00:00 - Justin on why Clubhouse is a firsthand experience on all things Bitcoin  00:02:29 - Misconceptions about Bitcoin that won't die 00:04:41 - How everyone is asking about Doge on Clubhouse, and 'toshis'  00:07:41 - Brad's 75-day challenge including buying Bitcoin every day 00:09:51 - Justin on why Bitcoin is like Floyd Mayweather  00:20:42 - As a vegan, is Justin mad about "No Keys, No Cheese"?  00:24:29 - Justin's story - his comeback story powered on by Bitcoin  00:40:32 - Brad and Justin's experiences with judgment in the Fiat system 00:48:05 - On Charlie Shrem, Ross Ulbricht and Roger Ver 00:51:00 - Slavery in prisons, and opting out of unfair systems with Bitcoin 01:02:52 - Why Justin and Charlie Shrem should do a podcast together 01:07:40 - Justin's social media plugs

Om Podcasten

My name is Brad Mills, I am a Bitcoiner. I'm an average person, I just got into Bitcoin early. I'm not a coder, I look at this space from the point of view of a regular user. I believe BTC is the best form of money. It’s free speech money. Digital Gold. Programmable money for the age of the Internet, uncensorable, peer to peer cash. A new asset class, a store of value. One of the most important open source inventions of our time, gifted to the world by an anonymous creator whose identity is still not known! I fell down the rabbit hole & have been following Bitcoin since 2011. This podcast is my evolving journey in the world of cryptocurrency as I try to reconcile my bitcoin maximalist philosophy & my respect for the Austrian Economic, Libertarian & Cypherpunk roots of bitcoin's creation with the desire to stack BTC by investing in the rest of the space. I hope you enjoy the conversations.
