Haley Berkoe met with Ella Hough, who has dedicated significant time to educating younger generations about bitcoin. She just completed her bitcoin-focused study at Cornell University, co-founded the Bitcoin Students Network, and led the Cornell Bitcoin Club, which is now transitioning to new leadership. Additionally, she is conducting a global study examining bitcoin adoption and financial freedom.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
* How she went about pursuing bitcoin as an independent major, focusing on its connections to linguistics and game theory, and viewing bitcoin as a language—a new protocol for truth and the dissemination of information.
* Her research study, which spans 25 countries, includes 25,000 surveys and about 250 interviews to explore how bitcoin serves as a tool for financial freedom.
* Her bitcoin "aha" moment 4 years ago after attending the Oslo Freedom Forum with the Human Rights Foundation.
* How hackathons can help foster connections and provide students a chance to build proof of work, making them more employable.
* Shoutouts to Sarah Kreps (@sekreps), Troy Cross (@thetrocro), Parker Lewis (@parkeralewis), Erik Hersman (@whiteafrican), Dhruv Bansal (@dhruvbansal), and her mom Lisa Hough (@lisa_hough_).
