Censorship, the Political Pendulum, and Why EVERYONE Need Bitcoin - Adam O'Brien (Bitcoin Talk on THE Bitcoin Podcast)

<p><em>"Everyone just gets gravity. Everyone gets the protocol and we all live within that. And that's a rule without rulers. And I think Bitcoin is like gravity where it's just everyone gets free and open source money. Everyone gets programmable money, programmed and designed to maintain its purchasing power. And that's a rule."</em></p> <p>On this <a href="https://bitcoinpodcast.net/bitcoin-talk">Bitcoin Talk</a> episode of <em>THE Bitcoin Podcast</em>, <a href="https://x.com/walkeramerica">Walker</a> talks with <strong>Adam O'Brien,</strong> the founder & CEO of Bitcoin Well.
