What a wild week in Bitcoin. We first offer a clarification on whether or not Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme. Then, we go straight into speaking about the recent drop in price of Bitcoin, largely caused by Tesla's decision to stop accepting Bitcoin as payment. This prompted us to "re-hash" the environmental debate. Lastly, we shared real-world stories about people using Bitcoin to uplift themselves out of the grips of financial censorship and inflation.
