What Bitcoin Did

Jailed by a Dictator, Fighting Back with Bitcoin | Leopoldo López


Listen Later

Leopoldo López is a Venezuelan opposition leader, former political prisoner, and founder of the World Liberty Congress, a global alliance of democracy defenders and freedom fighters.

In this episode, Leopoldo tells the story of how he went from mayor of Caracas to being hunted, imprisoned, and sentenced for “sending subliminal messages” through his speeches. He reveals what four years in solitary confinement does to the human mind, how he led a prison uprising from inside his cell, and the insane escape that finally got him out of Venezuela.

Now living in exile, Leopoldo explains how he’s using Bitcoin to fight back. Funding resistance movements, paying doctors and activists when banks are weaponised by dictators, and building a new freedom network through the World Liberty Congress.
