Just gave a 35-min online talk + Q&A to 115 financial regulators from countries including US, UK, Australia, Egypt, Brazil, Indonesia, Ukraine, Nigeria, Uganda (over 20 nations in total) about Bitcoin
In the audience was the director of the central bank of paraguay, deputy director of the central bank of pakistan. director of the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) for Brazil, deputy director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore and many divisional heads.
A big focus for the talk was how Bitcoin is financial inclusion technology for the world's 1.4Billion unbanked, and how it is financial freedom technology for human rights activists around the world. Strongly featured the work of Alex Gladstein and HRF, the work of Bitcoin mining companies who are helping bring people out of energy poverty, while stabilizing the grid and improving energy security and affordability, and the work of the Digital Assets Research Institute who've quantified how Bitcoin has been used as re-locatable re-settlement money for 329,000 refugees.
Most had not seen any of the data I'd shared, and were eager to see the real world data that backed up these stories - which thanks to the people and entities mentioned above, we have a lot of.
Probably nothing.
