HOW TO ESCAPE HYPERINFLATION & SHORT FIAT WITH BITCOIN | Mauricio Di Bartolomeo
Manage episode 504051785 series 3503235
“If Bitcoin does what we believe it's gonna do, what else do you need?”
In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast with Walker America, Venezuelan-born Bitcoiner and Ledn co-founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo joins Walker America to tell the wild, true story of how hyperinflation and authoritarian crackdowns forced his family to rely on Bitcoin—mining in Venezuela, dodging extortion, and escaping with their savings secured by a hardware wallet. We unpack Bitcoin-backed loans, proof-of-reserves, why many lenders collapsed in 2022 (and why Ledn didn’t), plus the new regulatory vibe shift (Fannie/Freddie asset recognition, “super-app” frameworks) and how banks will collide with Bitcoin-native finance.
