How Kraken Began Their Fight for Financial Sovereignty: Jesse Powell interview

in #bitcoin5 years ago

Jesse Powell, CEO and Co-Founder of Kraken, chatted with me about how he started Kraken, how crypto can change the world, and regulatory compliance vs. the right to financial privacy.

Kraken is one of the largest and oldest Bitcoin exchanges in the world, and has been on the forefront of the blockchain revolution since 2011. They've been an important part of the fight for financial freedom and inclusion.

I’ll never understand this regulation business surely if something is detrimental to the consumer market forces would take care of it and people wouldn’t use the service! Lol and they say we’re in a free market? It just shows that even with the odds against crypto people are still making the choice

I’d love to know what it would be like if fiat wasn’t forced and it was a choice how many would run from it

One of the problems is when governments tries to stop free markets. Did you know that the world only has bits and pieces of free markets because governments tries to regulate and control markets, etc?

Yes I am well aware of it, their is no real free market! Each nations government tries to protect some industry for national interest and reduces free market influence

Do you trust government to really help people?

Lol not in the slightest, they're there to enrich themselves as is everyone in the world
