In this episode of the Think Bitcoin Podcast, Logan speaks with Sal Pineda, a writer and researcher, about the intersection of Bitcoin and transitional justice. Sal shares his personal journey from growing up in El Salvador during the Civil War to becoming an advocate for Bitcoin as a tool for economic stability and justice in post-conflict societies. They discuss the challenges of transitional justice, the need for a fifth pillar focusing on economic stability, and the role of education in spreading Bitcoin knowledge. Sal emphasizes the importance of private capital in rebuilding economies and the necessity of reevaluating existing frameworks to better address the needs of societies recovering from conflict. Sal also explores how wealth influences societal structures, the harsh realities of poverty, and the importance of trust in rebuilding post-conflict societies. Pineda argues that Bitcoin offers a unique solution by providing a store of integrity and a means to bypass traditional economic systems that often fail the most vulnerable. He also critiques the role of NGOs and the political landscape surrounding Bitcoin, emphasizing the need for a more inclusive dialogue about its potential benefits.
