How to Survive Hyperinflation and Dictators with Bitcoin — Mauricio’s Story of Mining, Escape, and Building LEDN

Mauricio from LEDN joins Magsplaining to share his origin story: growing up in Venezuela under capital controls, discovering Bitcoin mining as a lifeline, and his brothers' daring escape from extortion and jail. We dig into hyperinflation, how BTC-collateralized loans enable real financial inclusion, and why LEDN’s bitcoin-backed loans level the playing field globally, from Bogotá to Barcelona to Canada. A candid masterclass on survival, building, and conviction.
