Most people agree that Bitcoin was in some ways a reaction to the financial crash of 2008 and sort of this pervasive distrust of the banking system and global finance.

On April 15, 2008 I talked with Janessa Goldbeck, the Director of Membership at the Genocide Intervention Network, about what we can all do about genocide. It is such a large issue and people I think often feel paralysis and overwhelm. It's a really interesting cross-generational mix of people who have taken this issue to heart.
