LinktreeIn this episode, we will explore the implications of the Chivo Wallet hack, the vulnerabilities it exposed, and what it might say about the autocratic trajectory of the Bukele administration and perhaps a trend in so-called “Global South".

Just putting this trailer out to let you guys know what's coming up. I'll be away for another week and a half on a brief trip, but we've got what I genuinely consider the best episode I've made so far on its way. Expect the episode to release some time before the second week of June is over.

I'll present some of their public statements and commentary, and include interviews with two experts. This episode will come with more social and economic context than anything I've published before.
