Gravity Media's video: Lorien Gamaroff - Empowering Africa Through Bitcoin - Bitstocks Podcast Ep 22

Centbee CEO and co-founder, Lorien Gamaroff, talks to Bitstocks CEO-Founder, Michael Hudson about empowering humanity, and Africa in particular, through Bitcoin. Lorien, a software engineer by training, originates from Zimbabwe where he worked in the energy industry at a time when Africans had little access to digital payment platforms. Bitcoin appeared as an ideal solution. When the Zimbabwe Central Bank destroyed the local currency, he started reading up about Austrian economics and the concept of sound money. Since then Lorien’s understanding of Bitcoin has evolved significantly and he’s highly sought after by institutions like central banks and the IMF to speak on the societal benefits of Bitcoin.
