Banks & Vikings

Max and Stacy compare modern banks to the Vikings - they both looted relatively defenseless populations of their hard earned savings. The only difference is that the Vikings did not fear death, whereas our central banks and governments are terrified of bank death and, because they interfere with the natural order of life and death, all must decay around it. In the second half, Max interviews Chris Ellis (@MrChrisEllis) and Alakanani (@BitcoinLady) about crowdfunding bitcoin nodes for Botswana, and why and how the global spread of nodes can improve the bitcoin ecosystem.
