The State of Bitcoin in China with Roger Huang
In this episode, Scott interviews Roger Huang, an accomplished author and Bitcoin expert. Roger's book, "Would Mao Hold Bitcoin?" delves deep into China’s unique relationship with Bitcoin amidst strict government regulations and cultural nuances. He sheds light on the historical, economical, and societal factors influencing Bitcoin's role in China, the rise of digital currency exchanges, and the nation's evolving economic landscape. This insightful conversation unpacks how Bitcoin could force broader discussions around freedom and political reform in China.
Roger Huang was born in China, but raised in Canada. He became fascinated with Bitcoin as early as 2013 – He couldn’t quite find his way around describing exactly why, so he started diving into it by meeting Bitcoin supporters and writing about the topic. As a longtime observer, Mandarin speaker, and regular contributor to Forbes and other platforms on the subject of Bitcoin in China, Huang is uniquely positioned to evaluate the implications for the future.
Roger Huang’s "Would Mao Hold Bitcoin?" is the authoritative resource exploring Bitcoin’s disruptive intersection with Chinese history. Huang not only pulls back the curtain on the characters and events driving that story, but on the larger questions that arise from the clash between state-driven Chinese tech and the open source development that is Bitcoin.
