SOB #498 Rights Versus Privileges in a Global Financial System

<p>This episode was recorded earlier in 2022...</p> <p><strong>Two critical questions about financial freedom and responsibility</strong></p> <p>As the second week of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine begins, questions continue to arise surrounding crypto’s complexities in a wartime environment alongside broader questions about the future of money.</p> <p>On this episode of “Speaking of Bitcoin,” hosts Adam B. Levine, Stephanie Murphy and Jonathan Mohan dive into two critical questions about financial freedom and responsibility.</p> <p>The first question surrounds an emerging narrative of sanction evasion. Could bitcoin (BTC) even be an effective tool for a nation-state to use to evade sanctions, given crypto’s relative market size to a nation’s reserves? Even further, how effective are these sanctions at all?</p> <p>The second question lies in the distinction between rights versus privileges for financial freedom. Do nation-states or individuals have a right to transact, or is interacting with larger financial systems a privilege that can be revoked by whoever operates the system?”</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/originalltb/message
