About John Gilbert
John is a crypto explainer journalist and founder of The Bitcoin Mint—an open standard for ascribing physical definition to bitcoin on the Bitcoin Blockchain.
Inspired by Ursula Le Guin’s vision of an anarchist society built on mutual aid and free exchange in her book The Dispossessed, he imagined a way for people to exchange bitcoin as material aid—without the surveillance of the state and moneyed interests of central credit issuers. You can see examples of this type of physical bitcoin at TheBitcoinMint.com
This standard not only preserves a way to cash out of the matrix, it gives people a say on the form and function of the money used in their community.
It’s a revolutionary idea that is taking shape in local bitcoin mint meetups where people share art, ideas and physical and digital bitcoin in person. Follow The Bitcoin Mint Press on Substack to join the conversation and learn more!
