    Ep.36 - What separates us from machines
    Jun 12 2024
    There’s something in common between Soviet Lieutenant Stanislav Petrov, American activist Aaron Swartz and the co-founder of OpenAI Ilya Sutskever.

    Ep.35 - A bitcoin a day / Part two
    Jun 5 2024
    Since June 2019, Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez has been the President of the Republic of El Salvador. Bukele hasn’t just freed the country from the throttle of drug gangs, but also started an unexpected economic upturn with the introduction of bitcoin as legal tender. It’s something that has never been tried before, and it’s been reaping enormous benefits in terms of the sustainability of debt, on the country’s international image, and on its support of “clean” energy sources for crypto mining. Welcome to El Salvador, where mythology and science fiction walk together. Where the future is already here.

Following his election, he’s repressed the drug gangs in his country with an iron fist. Last February he won a second mandate using a constitutional loophole. But Bukele has also brought about a significant economic development: starting from 2022 he recognized bitcoin as legal tender in his country. El Salvador is the first nation in the world to attempt such an experiment.
