John Alcock has a BSC and MSc from Otago. He also has an LLB from Auckland Uni of Technology.
His time is presently devoted to matters crypto. He talks with us about Bitcoin, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC’s), and the progress by our own Reserve Bank.
What he has to say in podcast 234, needs to be heard by all who care about freedom.
There’s also comment on the approaching age of Neo Feudalism and the “take away” from the last four years.
And finally, The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
