A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin – Fireside Chat with Author C. Jason Maier (Rhode Island)

On December 10, we hosted a live fireside chat with C. Jason Maier, author of A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin: A Path Toward a More Just, Equitable and Peaceful World, at Wickford on the Water in Rhode Island. Moderated by Dan Hersey, founder of the Rhode Island Bitcoin Policy Institute (RIBPI), and co-hosted with the Rhode Island Blockchain Council (RIBC), this conversation brought together Rhode Island Bitcoiners, students, and state-level policymakers for an honest, values-driven discussion about Bitcoin beyond the headlines. In this recorded fireside chat, we explore: • How a progressive math teacher came to see Bitcoin as a tool for justice and empowerment • Why Bitcoin can support financial inclusion for the unbanked and marginalized • The misunderstood relationship between Bitcoin mining and the environment • Bitcoin as a response to Too Big To Fail banks, inflation, and financial corruption • What’s new in the revised & updated edition of A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin • The growing divide between state-level leadership and federal skepticism on Bitcoin policy • Why Rhode Island Democrats are leading on forward-thinking Bitcoin legislation like S.0451 • How Bitcoin could contribute to a more just and peaceful world The event concluded with an extended audience Q&A, featuring thoughtful questions on volatility, regulation, education, and global human rights use cases. Whether you’re a longtime Bitcoiner, a skeptic, or simply curious, this conversation is designed to challenge assumptions and invite deeper thinking about Bitcoin’s role in society. C.
