30 Years in China: A More Nuanced Comparison Of Socio-Economic Approaches Between China and 'The West' w/ Peter Alexander

Bitcoin Rapid-Fire

Show Notes

Peter Alexander is an entrepreneur who’s been living and doing business in Shanghai, China for nearly 30 years.

He reached out to me recently after hearing one of the ‘Macro Hang’ episodes, where we briefly touched on the subject of China, and in which I suggested that we should be careful not to oversimplify the differences between China and ‘The West’ / US, especially in terms of economic 'model'.

Peter agrees, and feels that the economic and social circumstance in China are, broadly speaking, being misrepresented, or at the very least lacking important nuance, by commentators in the bitcoin space (and beyond), and as a result contacted me to see if I’d be open to hearing a more informed and experienced perspective on it.

Of course I was interested, so we set up a chat.

Enjoy!

The Hodl Hang crew is back together for another session.

Nov 29, 2023

In this show, I sit down with three of my friends to get an update on the emerging bitcoin 'circular economy' in Madeira, Portugal (where they are all now living), as well as to discuss the upcoming 'Bitcoin Atlantis' conference happening there in March 2024.

Nov 9, 2023

Every now and then, this crew gets together to discuss the current macroeconomic situation, and of course, the role that bitcoin is playing within it.

Health has been central to my life for more than 20 years, so it's been fascinating (and surprising) to observe the impact which learning about and adopting bitcoin seems to be having on how people approach their diet, fitness, and many other aspects of well-being.
