I joined Adam Meister of Bitcoin Meister to discuss Bitcoin, India, money, and the financial realities that are often misunderstood by those looking at India from the outside.

We discuss Bitcoin’s potential in India, the effects of government intervention, the weakness of trust in Indian institutions, and why people in unstable societies look for alternatives to paper currency and the banking system.

Watch the full discussion below:
