This week on TezTalks Radio, host Brandon Langston speaks with Libertez, a longtime Tezos baker and contributor whose perspective on money and trust was shaped not by theory, but by lived experience. Having grown up in Venezuela during a period of economic collapse, Libertez brings a grounded and deeply personal lens to conversations about crypto, baking, and decentralization.

Our guest is Libertez, a home baker and writer active in the Tezos community, known for keeping his setup accessible and for sharing thoughtful reflections on trust, value, and resilience through his writing on Tezos Commons.
