The Gist - No Coup for You

Consider This from NPR - The Consequences Of Election Denialism

We know President Trump lost the election. What we don't know is what will happen between now and Inauguration Day if he refuses to accept the results.

In the short term, the Biden transition team cannot access certain government funds, use office space or receive classified intelligence briefings without official recognition of Biden's victory from a government agency called the General Services Administration. NPR's Brian Naylor has reported on the delay.

At the Department of Justice, the top prosecutor in charge of election crimes, Richard Pilger, resigned from his position this week. A former DOJ colleague of Pilger's, Justin Levitt, tells NPR that the department is enabling the president's baseless claims of widespread election fraud.

And Washington Post columnist David Ignatius explains what might be happening at the Department of Defense, where Trump's election denialism has coincided with a number of high-level firings and a debate over the release of classified information.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Discovering Bitcoin Through the #EndSARS Movement, Feat. Yele Bademosi & Akin Sawyerr

When the Nigerian government shut down protestors’ bank accounts, bitcoin and crypto became a way around. 

This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com and Nexo.io.

Yele Bademosi is CEO at Bundle social payments app and the founder of investment firm Microtraction. Akin Sawyerr is involved across the industry and leads operations at BarnBridge. 

Over the course of October 2020, the world’s attention became firmly fixed on a growing movement in Nigeria. With the hashtag #EndSARS, the movement was, on the one hand, about addressing police brutality. On the other hand, as our guests discuss, it was a broader awakening and a demand for generational economic opportunity. At one point, even Twitter founder Jack Dorsey called for people to donate bitcoin to help the movement. 

In this conversation, Yele and Akin discuss:

  • The state of the economy in Nigeria leading into the protests
  • Generational differences in political action 
  • Why the #EndSARS protests exploded into action in October
  • Why the movement turned to bitcoin to avoid bank confiscation 
  • How crypto can play a role in a brighter future
