Which is more profitable -  a live or dead rainforest?

John Goedschalk, Founder of Bio Tara and former Executive Director of Conservation International looks at how Bitcoin can empower these local forest communities, getting their products to market faster, and providing them with a currency that is not subject to 60% a year inflation, which is what his country, Suriname, has been going through.

Suriname's forests absorb more carbon than the population generates, making it carbon negative.

John has always been passionate about saving the trees and likens himself to The Lorax, a character who speaks for the trees. John believes that if we don't save the forests, there's not much that will keep us going on this planet.

BIOTARA provides communities with the tools, education, technology, and access to finance needed to create their own factories and processing plants. They ensure that every kilogram of oil or butter is sold even before it's produced. This approach ensures conservation, restoration, and community benefits. John emphasizes that BIOTARA is not an NGO but a business partner offering services to communities.

John discusses the challenges of working with investors who want to see revenue before investing. He believes in building a system with the right foundations before scaling up. John is currently making oils and butters out of his garage while developing the necessary technology and social safeguards.

Traceability is a crucial aspect of their work, especially with the EU deforestation regulation requiring proof that products come from non-deforested areas.

We discuss the importance of clean cosmetics and the need for more safe products for both adults and children.

John shares his experiences with the challenges of the banking system in Suriname, where many people are unbanked and unbankable. He believes that a stable currency like Bitcoin could provide solace to people in Suriname, who have been dealing with high inflation and currency devaluation.

We discuss the potential of Bitcoin and other digital currencies in empowering communities and creating circular economies. They also talk about the importance of education and ensuring that people understand and trust these new systems.

In this powerful episode of Bitcoin for PEACE, we delve into the intersection of women's rights, financial autonomy, and Bitcoin with Mercedes Juarez, a seasoned women's rights expert who has worked in over 50 countries. Mercedes shares her extensive experience in advocating for women's health, wellness, and financial independence, particularly in the Global South. We discuss the challenges women face in escaping violence and becoming autonomous, and how Bitcoin can be a transformative tool in this journey.

Mercedes highlights the systemic issues within the development industry and the importance of strategic, culturally sensitive interventions. She emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that includes financial education and community support. We also explore the concept of circular economies and the importance of creating sustainable, self-sufficient communities.

Throughout the conversation, Mercedes shares poignant stories and insights from her work, illustrating the profound impact of empowering women with financial tools like Bitcoin. We also touch on the importance of ethical considerations and the need for a shift in mindset within the Bitcoin community to truly leverage this technology for social justice and equity.

Join us for an enlightening discussion that underscores the potential of Bitcoin to create a more peaceful and equitable world, especially for women in vulnerable situations.

ABOUT MERCEDES:
International women’s specialist with 40 years’ experience as a consultant, trainer, and researcher in the fields of education, development aid, global health and gender issues. Senior adviser in the education and health sector to governments and international institutions such as the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT), Directorate-General for International Cooperation-Dutch government, Danida-Danish Government, Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office-UK Government, UNICEF, UNFPA, WHO and World Bank, in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. She agrees with Saifdean’s definition from the FIAT standard that all of the above can be characterized as “the misery industry”.

In her teenage years she participated in community development programmes organized by the Jesuits throughout Mexico. Growing up in the slums of Mexico City Mercedes' activism was born as a result of experiencing the drastic social contrast in Mexican society which still prevails to this day. As many of her peers in the 70’s she studied Marxism and it’s most prominent critics such as Foucault in depth, and considered it as the most viable route towards social justice, however now in her 70’s she has become an ardent supporter of bitcoin for achieving her life long goals of supporting underprivileged populations and particularly women.

In this episode of Bitcoin for PEACE, we dive deep into the profound impact of money on our lives with Seb Bunny, author of 'The Hidden Cost of Money' and CEO of Looking Glass Education. Seb shares his personal journey, from his early realization of money's influence on his family dynamics to his passion for mountain biking and the financial struggles of professional athletes. He discusses the broader societal implications of a broken monetary system, including its effects on mental health, relationships, and community structures.

Seb explains the concept of time preference and how our current fiat system incentivizes short-term thinking and consumerism, leading to a culture of meaninglessness and anxiety. He contrasts this with Bitcoin, which promotes long-term planning and saving, fostering a sense of security and purpose. Seb also touches on the psychological aspects of money, including how financial stress can affect even unborn children and shape our behaviors and beliefs.

The conversation explores the potential of Bitcoin to create a more equitable and compassionate society by realigning incentives and reducing the power of centralized authorities.
