The Fight For Freedom Of Money With Randy Brito – Bitcoin Magazine

Listen to this Episode:

On this episode of the “Bitcoin Magazine Podcast,” Christian Keroles sat down with Randy Brito, cofounder and CEO of the Locha Mesh project.

Brito is a diehard Bitcoiner who has escaped persecution in Venezuela and works daily with the mission to make Bitcoin more and more resistant to censorship. Brito sees the existing internet infrastructure as a huge attack vector that must be addressed immediately. Locha Mesh is an open source mesh networking project and protocol designed to be able to support a decentralized global internet.

Keroles and Brito discussed why Westerners have been complacent with their stable but central infrastructure and how the majority of the world is in desperate need of a free, open and private internet, especially for Bitcoin. Brito believes that Bitcoin is the catalyst for us to rebuild our entire economy in a more decentralized way, but fears for the next few years in the fight.

Brito urged all listeners to do what they can to support rebuilding the internet in a way that respects human rights and freedoms. He chants the rally cry “La Lucha Por La Locha Libre, The Fight For The Freedom Money.”
