The case for regulating Bitcoin

26 June 2023

I have been catching up on podcasts recently.  The one which has got me thinking about the potential value of digital assets to all in society, but perhaps more those who are marginalised, is a podcast from April titled “Bitcoin Should Be Central to Regulation of Digital Assets”

You can find it online, and I’ve set out the link below, and it’s courtesy of John Rizzo Senior Vice President for public affairs at Clyde Group.

While first noting some of the problems inherent in bitcoin, it also considers how bitcoin can be a source of value, in particular in a polarised world.

Mr Rizzo talks about financial agency, which is one of the key principals guiding our thinking here at CFDAAD.

He goes on to consider the value that a de-centralised asset can bring to dissidents, for whom financial agency is a particular need, and those whose national currency is unstable (perhaps more volatile than bitcoin itself).

I’d recommend listening.
