Sin Maquillaje, Altagracia SalazarLeonel y Margot tienen que comprar memoria, Sin Maquillaje, mayo 3, 2022La conmoción por la muerte del joven profesor David de los Santos en el destacamento policial de Naco provocó ayer la reacción del presidente de la República que se comprometió a que habrá una investigación y una sanción.
Tres muertes en destacamentos policiales en el mes de abril se hacen sentir lo suficiente para lograr la reacción publica y la oficial. Sirven también para el oportunismo político en el que ayer se montó el ex presidente Leonel Fernández quien “manifestó su repulsa frente al hecho”
Mientras la ciudadanía esper...

The Peter McCormack ShowA Progressive View of Bitcoin with Margot Paez - WBD478Margot Paez is a Fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute specialising in Renewable Energy and Environmental Studies. In this interview, we discuss the Occupy movement, a broken capitalist system, and a pragmatic approach to our energy future. - - - - Bitcoin is often labelled as being a currency for libertarians. But, it is increasingly clear that Bitcoin appeals to a wide range of people with a myriad of political leanings. This includes a growing number of progressives who see in the protocol a means of enabling a fairer and less economically stratified society.

Digital Money AdvisorBitcoin, the Climate Crisis, and Financialization with Margot Paez (aka jyn urso)Margot Paez says the financialization of the US economy is one reason why it’s been difficult to take decisive action on climate change.

And it’s also kind of an attack on the existing financial structures because it takes away a centralized power basically from Wall Street and decentralizes it in a very non-coercive way. And everybody has an opportunity to participate in it and use Bitcoin to their benefit.” The challenge for bitcoiners like my guest today, Margo Paez, is...
