Join us on Friday, May 23 at 6pm for a fireside chat with Roger Huang, a longtime observer on the subject of Bitcoin in China and regular contributor to Forbes, Bitcoin Magazine, and many other platforms.
Roger Huang is the author of Would Mao Hold Bitcoin?, the authoritative resource exploring Bitcoin’s disruptive intersection with Chinese history. Huang not only pulls back the curtain on the specifics of the history, characters, and story, but on the larger questions that arise from the clash between state-driven Chinese tech and the open source development that is Bitcoin.
