Charlene Fadirepo discusses her transition from Federal Reserve regulator to Bitcoin strategist and her insights on financial systems and Bitcoin's role in Africa.
Charlene Fadirepo is a former Federal Reserve regulator turned Bitcoin strategist, Author and Consultant. After a decade in banking and consulting, she arrived at Bitcoin through a decades-long search for a financial system without bias. She co-authored “Bitcoin and the American Dream” alongside Jimmy Song, took that work to Capitol Hill, and later wrote “The Bitcoin Leap”, about bitcoin grassroots adoption in Africa. She is also the founder of Satoshi Sister Circle, a leadership and career network for African and African diaspora women. In this conversation, Charlene walks through what she witnessed inside the Fed, why she sees CBDCs as unambiguous surveillance tools and what she thinks about stablecoins, as well as why Africa doesn't need Bitcoin, Bitcoin needs Africa. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.
