A Central Bank Ponzi Blowing Up: Hyperinflation and the Rise of Bitcoin in Lebanon - FTM10 with Sooly Kobayashi

What happens if the central bank runs a literal ponzi scheme? Bitcoiner Sooly has found out - in his home country of Lebanon.

The small country of Lebanon is hitting the world headlines for all the wrong reasons. After decades of civil war, a corrupt elite of politicians and central bankers plundered the country, plunging it into hyperinflation and collapse.

I talk to Sooly, a Bitcoiner from Lebanon who I met on Twitter. He gives us the inside scoop on what’s going on in his country and how young people are turning to Bitcoin.

Best, Niko
