Is Bitcoin still for everyone — or is it becoming another tool for the rich to get richer?

At Bitcoin Is for Everyone in Portland, I interviewed builders, entrepreneurs, educators, to explore one of the biggest questions in the space right now: is bitcoin really for everyone? 

In this episode, we talk about why Bitcoin matters beyond price, including inflation, censorship, financial sovereignty, self custody, retirement, health savings, inheritance, merchant adoption, and the future of peer-to-peer money.
