Show Notes
Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, co-founder and CEO of Ledn, a Bitcoin and digital asset financial services platform, fled Venezuela to escape persecution by the regime and the devastating effects of economic collapse and hyperinflation. Can Bitcoin be the answer to managed decline and inflation? In this interview we discuss the lessons from Venezuela's economic collapse and how Bitcoin offers a pathway to financial freedom. We also cover the challenges of big government, the hidden costs of free services, and why decentralisation through Bitcoin could revolutionise economies like the UK. Hosted on Acast.

500 Eye-opening podcast. I'm not familiar with his work so this was inspirational. Not sure why he's described as weird or annoying, I didn't detect that.

500 Love Giovanni's work and his commitment to unbiased scientific method.
Having said that, in his presentations he dives into so many associated points that I'm sure the average listener will end up bewitched, bothered and bewildered by so much information.
Nevertheless, if you're prepared to concentrate, this is brilliant stuff. Audio only on fountain, so you don't get to see the charts he refers to.
Kudos to Stephan for keeping it on track with a light touch!

500 I've been interested in Gio's power law work since I discovered it about a year ago.
He's been attacked by many who should know better, but who won't retain the open mindedness they once had for bitcoin itself. The attacks are always ad hominem and never scientific.
Good to see Stephan being a leading light in the open-minded discussions.

500 I'm quite clever, and my mathematical ability is better than most, but Stephen's work puts me firmly in my place!
I'm a dumbass!
(Still a power law believer!)

500 I'm just upset, as an elderly super-boomer, that there is so little I understand. Lots of interesting stuff in here though.

500 Best episode ever. An absolute gem! The title didn't appeal to me so I wasn't going to bother. I would have missed the most entertaining and enjoyable episode in the history of enjoyable episodes.
What an engaging and interesting.character! Definitely now looking out for more of his stuff.

500 Reduce screen time! Listen to podcasts rather than watch them. Also, it's not screen time, but don't be always listening to stuff while walking or gardening.

500 Important work. Though I must admit that I didn't understand the details of how I would use any of it.
My bad!

500 Some of it was over my head, even though I have good mathematical knowledge. but Stephen Perrenod is the absolute top guy in my book. Even among bitcoiners I meet in person I'm still the only one who values the power law, but that's their loss!
