Bitcoin As a Protest w/ Isaiah Jackson and Max Keiser

In this episode of Swan Signal featuring Isaiah Jackson, the author of Bitcoin and Black America, Max Keiser, the host of the Keiser Report, Jason Don, known as Brekkie von Bitcoin, who is a Creative Director at Swan, and Brady Swenson, the Head of Education at Swan, the conversation revolves around Bitcoin as a form of protest.

During the episode, Max Keiser explained his term cantillionaire: "The term 'cantillionaire' came out of my frustration that people getting this money first are called 'elite'. You would never describe a flesh-eating amoeba as 'elite'. This is how you have to understand cantillionaries."

He also said that "Software has transformed everything in everyone's lives now for a few decades. The last holdout that hasn't been utterly transformed by software was money itself."

"It always confuses me how people can be racist when they are getting *****by the Fed just like we are," added Isaiah Jackson.
