Show Notes
<p>In this episode of Sat Chats, we welcome Dr. Jamar Montgomery—a child genius, triple-degree holder, and former government engineer turned Bitcoin advocate. Jamar first learned about Bitcoin in 2011 while holding a U.S. security clearance but waited years before diving deep. What started as an interest in Ethereum led him into the heart of Bitcoin—and into a mission to empower Black Americans and other underserved communities through sound money.</p>
<p>We unpack:</p>
<p>✅ What fractional reserve banking really is—and why it matters</p>
<p>✅ The difference between the monetary system vs. the financial system</p>
<p>✅ How Black sharecroppers created their own currencies pre-Civil War</p>
<p>✅ Why Bitcoin is more portable and powerful than gold</p>
<p>✅ What freedom actually costs—and how Bitcoin delivers it</p>
