About this episode
Crypto Sanctions: Bitcoin, Russia, and the New Digital Cold War In this gripping episode, we uncover how cryptocurrencies are at the heart of modern conflict—from Russia’s sanctions evasion to Hamas using Bitcoin for illicit financing. We’ll explore the global chessboard of crypto regulation, the rise of privacy coins like Monero, the United States' push for stablecoin dominance, and China’s crackdown on decentralized finance. Is Bitcoin a tool for liberation or disruption? As the digital Cold War heats up, crypto is no longer just a technology—it’s a weapon, a shield, and the future of economic sovereignty.
