Freedom Money: How Crypto Is Powering Social Justice Movements Around the World

In this timely episode of Confidently Crypto, Dr. Tonya M. Evans explores how cryptocurrency has become a lifeline for social justice movements around the world, from Nigerian feminists who kept the #EndSARS protests funded after banks froze their accounts, to Afghan women preserving their savings when the Taliban seized power, to Ukrainians receiving $225 million in wartime donations within weeks. But this isn't just a story about "over there." 

Tonight's breaking news that the Trump DOJ is criminally investigating Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, in what Powell himself calls retaliation for setting interest rates based on evidence rather than presidential preference, brings the lesson home: government control of the financial system is one of the first tools authoritarian regimes use to control citizens. Americans have much to learn from Nigerians, Afghans, Ukrainians, and even Canadians whose bank accounts were frozen during the Freedom Convoy protests. When traditional finance becomes a weapon, cryptocurrency becomes resistance. This episode makes the case that crypto isn't just an investment ... it's infrastructure for freedom.
