Elena - "A technology can be co-opted by a narrative or be co-opted by a special interest."
Bitcoin is not black and white, on the ground, it is always gray.
In this Orange Hatter episode, Elena, a first generation Venezuelan/Cuban American, discusses her interest in Bitcoin. She shares her journey into the understanding and adoption of Bitcoin which started with attending a digital currency class in grad school and leading a research paper on crypto-adoption in Venezuela. Elena strongly advocates Bitcoin as a transformative technology that fosters voluntary participation and consensus building. She also draws a parallel between Bitcoin and social change, highlighting how it can be an escape hatch for countries in economic crisis like Venezuela. However, Elena stresses on the importance of perspective and acknowledges the multi-faceted nature of such transformative technologies. Towards the end, Elena offers tips for women interested in Bitcoin, encouraging them to overcome intimidation, align exploration with personal interest, find friends in the sphere, and most importantly, realize that contributing to the Bitcoin conversation does not require complete buy-in.
