What is The Progressive Bitcoiner?
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to giving a voice to the individuals and communities who have used bitcoin to foster positive changes for personal, social and environmental issues. Launched as a podcast in December of 2021, The Progressive Bitcoiner has grown into a movement.
Our Goals
Adoption
To increase bitcoin adoption by appealing to a mainstream audience which includes progressives seeking more information about bitcoin, but feel they have nowhere for answers that speak to their values.
Diversity
To increase the diversity of content available in bitcoin education and who it targets, especially the podcast space, which largely leans more libertarian and conservative.
Content
To produce content that showcases great stories and conversations centered around social justice, economic empowerment, environmental issues, and other progressive values.
