  • The mission of the Human Rights Foundation
  • Why he was initially skeptical of Bitcoin
  • Bitcoin's governance as a foundational layer to build on
  • Can Bitcoin democratize the financing of humanitarian aid?
  • Pitching Bitcoin to liberal voters
  • The domestic case for Bitcoin
  • What keeps Alex motivated and who are his role models
