Bitcoin.com Podcast: Sitting Down with Andreas Antonopoulos
The first episode of the Bitcoin.com podcast, which aired on January 15, 2016, featured Andreas Antonopoulos. The topic of this episode was “The Other 6 Billion.”
There are 7 billion people living on earth, and 6 billion of them do not have access to financial services, or “power banking,” as Andreas calls it. Bitcoin can bring this massive portion of the population into the global economy, increasing the economic welfare of everyone.
Bitcoin is not bound by borders and it can be used by people of all socioeconomic classes. Unlike a banking system, it does not require much capital to set up a Bitcoin network. Furthermore, its borderless nature allows people to access the Bitcoin network without actually having any infrastructure in their region. All they need is a device that can run a light wallet, and they can connect to the network and begin transacting in bitcoin.
