Atlanta, GA

Bitcoin is a decentralized system for transferring money. Many free-market believers are in love with it, and some think it can solve all the world’s problems. We may not believe the hype, but what does bitcoin really do? And can it be useful to anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian resistance?
