In this wide ranging discussion, Ben discusses what our government's response to the COVID-19 crisis revealed about those in power and why we need to take a different approach to hedging against catastrophic risk. He shares his affinity for what crypto stands for and his fear that its focus on money will inevitably lead the powers that be to co-opt it. Lastly, he shares his belief that the recent actions from Central Banks around the world is simply the beginning phase of governments redefining money to support political power.
