The author of the popular book Bitcoin and Black America, Isaiah Jackson, in an interview with Cointelegraph, spoke about the role of the first cryptocurrency in protests overwhelming the United States.
Mass demonstrations in the United States began after a policeman killed African-American George Floyd in detention. People took to the streets with demands for justice and an end to police brutality against black people.
Jackson noted that the main enemy of African Americans is the traditional financial system:
“When the economy is broken, no matter how hard you try, you will still be thrown into areas with increased police control. Then the skirmishes begin and the police begin to kill black people, which triggers the domino effect. ”
As the main problems of the economy, Jackson called the lack of work for 40 million US residents and the uncontrolled press of the Fed’s fiat money. He added that people began to realize who their main enemy was.
“What strategy can help our society in the future? I think that people have just realized that bitcoin can be a solution. “
