Today we are joined by Taimur Ahmad, who focuses on Energy, Macro/Finance and Geopolitics and is a recent graduate of Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. We discuss progressive ideas in bitcoin, bitcoin as ultimate financial inclusion, community and movement building and what bitcoin does–and doesn’t–fix. Taimur is very thoughtful in his approach to these very nuanced topics and takes care to look at all angles.
