Sitting here in my EFF hoodie writing a comment to FinCEN is the energy I am bringing to 2021.

What is a day like in the money life of someone in Iran, Cuba, or Venezuela?
How do people use technology to move value in or out the closed economy they live in?
What happens when people want to send relief to these countries?
