Isaiah Jackson, co-founder of KRBE Digital Assets Group and the author of “Bitcoin & Black America,” thinks that bitcoin can play a crucial role in addressing economic disparity in Black communities.
More than just selling people on bitcoin, Jackson, the host of “Community Crypto” on CDTV, works to educate people on its fundamental principles and the ways bitcoin could be a tool for freedom through self-custody and self-reliance, not just a way to get rich. In this line, Jackson’s greatest influence may come from the simple, effective phrase “not your keys, not your cheese.”
