However, military conflict is only part of the economic challenges the country faces. There is monetary warfare being waged against its citizens. Crucial services that people in most developing countries take for granted, like simply transferring money, are almost impossible. It’s exacerbated by economic policies that have left Palestinians dependent on the outside world. Can Bitcoin allow the people to peacefully fight back against arduous barriers and capital controls? In this interview, I talk to Alex Gladstein and Fadi Elsalameen. We discuss declining economic conditions in Palestine, the underlying monetary problems, and how Bitcoin can help.
