In this Bitcoin Source exclusive, we speak with Roger Huang who is the author of Would Mao Hold Bitcoin? The Past, Present, And Future of Bitcoin in Techno-Nationalist China. Roger writes for Forbes on Bitcoin topics, and has bylines on TechCrunch, VentureBeat and Fast Company. In this Bitcoin conversation Huang touches upon how Bitcoin resonates with Chinese historical and political contexts, illuminating the Chinese populace's affinity for a currency that's detached from state influence and their battles against inflation.
Huang provides insights into the Hong Kong protests and their connection to Bitcoin while addressing contrasts in control, privacy, and global effects between state-sponsored digital currencies like the digital yuan and decentralized ones like Bitcoin. He encourages Bitcoin advocates to remain inquisitive, engage with diverse communities, and critically evaluate Bitcoin's foundational principles and its multifarious offshoots.
