Our conversation today is with Blockstream's Director of Marketing Fernando Nikolić. Fernando has an interesting backstory having emigrated from Argentina to Norway, and then having spent time in both North America and Europe. In today's talk we discussed the challenges of communicating Bitcoin, the importance of integrity, his first-hand experience with hyperinflation, how Bitcoin and tether are viewed outside of the U.S., and how Liquid could be a big part of the financial future. This was a really fun conversation. If you find it useful don't forget to like, subscribe, and share.
