Check out my new article in @EconomicAnthro that discusses the effects of #USsanctions on electronic payment platforms operating in #Cuba, showing how the risks of #cashless futures are territorialized and unevenly distributed anthrosource.onlinelibrary.w…
Portland folks, come to the opening reception of @HostileTerrain today at 4pm in the @littmanandwhite gallery at @Portland_State. A powerful installation about migrant deaths in the US-Mexico border. @UMP_LosAngeles

El 2021 fue un año de crecimiento en el ecosistema cripto cubano. 📈 Por primera vez en el archipiélago, un dólar en Bitcoin 🪙 se cotizó mejor que un dólar en efectivo.

Now that #Cuba has officially recognized #Bitcoin, will the @USTreasury prefer that everyday Cubans use Russian and Chinese crypto wallets, or will it grant access to American ones?
Here are some of my thoughts in the recent @CNBC coverage of #cryptocurrency and #bitcoin adoption in #Cuba. Thanks @KenzieSigalos. Also great commentary by @sobradob cnbc.com/2021/08/27/cubas-ce…

Cuba will now recognize and regulate cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, in a recent move following El Salvador.
@mrinalinitankha “It opens up a whole new economy for Cubans to participate in."

Cuba will now recognize & regulate cryptocurrencies like #bitcoin, citing reasons of "socioeconomic interest."
Historic move.

#Cuba issues new law governing the use of cryptocurrencies. The law names the Central Bank as regulator but otherwise accepts the use of, and provision of services related to, digital assets. Will be interesting to see how this plays out in practice. gacetaoficial.gob.cu/es/reso…

1/ My essay "Inside Cuba's Bitcoin Revolution" is now live.
Mired in their worst economic crisis since the early 90s, Cubans face tyranny, shortages, blackouts, the embargo, and a collapsing peso.
A growing number are finding hope through Bitcoin 🧵

An excellent editorial that everyone—Cubans everywhere, but also members of the US and Cuban governments—should read.
