Complete Transparency On A Broad Scale | Can Corruption Ever Be Rooted Out?
About this episode
Could humanity handle the truth of how corporations and governments act behind the scenes?
In Episode #350 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: if the world would fall apart if Satoshi started moving around 5% of all BTC, if nihilism would rise when we see how nasty things are behind the scenes, if corruption can ever be fully stamped out, why transparency doesn't mean that you will understand everything and why I'm hopeful that we can indeed benefit from a more transparent world.
A huge thanks to Petar and Dave Jones, our two highest giving supporters. Transparently generous the both of them!
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
