It’s totally different from insurance. Instead of sending your hard earned money to an insurance company, you hold your money in an account CrowdHealth helps you set up when you join. You can even convert dollars in that account into Bitcoin. When someone in the community has a health need you help them out directly, and if there is Bitcoin or $ in your account when you leave, you take it with you. www.joincrowdhealth.com/natalie

This was eye-opening. Most of us grow up being brainwashed into thinking colonialism is a thing of the past when actually it’s just transformed from territorial into a more insidious financial colonialism. I wasn’t even aware of CFA until a couple of years ago at a Bitcoin conference and it’s still shocking to hear about it being alive and kicking. Thanks Natalie for giving a platform for people like Farida to tell their stories, and for asking the kind of questions I’d want to ask
This needs to change. I had no idea about any of this 😒
Brilliant interview... So enlightening and needs to be shared far and wide so people can understand the woes of African people in these French colonies and how they continue to be enslaved.
Truly heartbreaking to realize what money does to human beings. It was great to watch your expressions Natalie. Your heart and soul was hurting as you heard the depravity of man but cheered up when talking about lightning. Bitcoin is so much more than making money it’s a stand for freedom and equality and a vote against tyranny and corruption. Great job Nat, well done good and faithful servant of others you are an example to many. We love you🙂
I believe this is by far the best episode. Learning a lot about Africa/France relationship. Africa is definitely the real Bitcoin glassroot!!
What a great guest and unexpected direction for your show. I appreciate Farida fleshing out somewhat my limited understanding of France's profiteering off African countries via currency control. She was much more specific than the materials I'd previously come across.
Alex Galdstein (I think) pointed out on Robert Breedlove's podcast that the IMF lays out a similar 'post colonial' financial dependency to its loan recipients also. Except with USD to buoy an unbacked currency creating a kind of debt induced demand. All the colonial powers were in the same boat as the French after WW2 they were all broke except USA and while it wasn't a colonial power effectively became one via a debt slavery regime.
Farida is a goldmine of info and apparently a tough and intelligent person , so glad to hear from her and I hope she comes back to update us soon!
great signal having people who have suffered generations/centuries of financial repression who understand the freedom technology bitcoin enables props for having Farida on and good luck to her
It feels like we are all waking up from a slumber and start to realise that many things are messed up. Much to do. I feel optimistic 😌
Absolutely incredible interview; your best so far. Thank you so much for bringing these amazing people to our attention. Farida is a powerful woman who will change the lives of many Africans. I have visited 18 of the 54 countries; fell in love with the people, culture and animals on my first visit which doesn't stop.
Fantastic interview. This is our reality in Africa and especially in the Healthcare space!

One of the very best episodes to date Natalie!
Fantastic interview. Keep up the great work Nathalie 🙂
Scamm
Thanks so much for this great interview. I’ve shared it in many places.
Wonderful interview. More Africa adoption plz.
Wonderful interview
Great show Natalie as always, but one recommendation, ask for likes and subscribes AFTER the show, or even say 3/4 thru, after people, esp. new people have had a chance to watch it. Same with your sponsor's message. Otherwise people will just skip over it. Well they'll skip over anyway, but the skip is different IMO if it comes after some quality content.
Natalie is a gifted interviewer.
Natalie has many gifts. Literally breathtaking.
This was amazing
Yep, same thing happened to my mom when she tried to sell her land, in Benin. There was an other land owner.
I could look at Natalie Brunell all day everyday! Love how she's smart, beautiful and not woke! Marry me! Come on BTC ... Do that 6 figure thing so I can go woo Nat

Use chapters please
She does though...
@@Huru_ ...and they are much appreciated!
@@mandog-FYT Please, don't tag unnecessarily.
The country of liberté, egalité, fraternité also did it to HAITI... Despicable!
So sad what they are doing and keep doing to the Africans, as well as what they have done and keep doing to African Americans.
TIP - when you interview someone on the continent of Africa, ALWAYS mention their country first before you mention the continent 🌍 RESPECT
Natalie unfortunately it's malice....
Stopped watching your channel because there isn't much value in your stuff anymore. More useful for newcomers to the space and people unaware of basic stuff (hard to put nicely) imho. + poor choice of interviewees (usual CT crap). Clicked on this one to get some nice background noise while working but didn't expect it to get this real. One thing's for sure: you still love your risks :).
I disagree. Natalie is exemplary on either side of an interview. Have you seen her news clips? Impressive. I admit I'm biased. I'd tune in if she were just reading the phone book. But I watch a lot of content over various formats. She's sharp, focussed, articulate and nimble in engaging the most cantankerous individual. If she ever tires of this gig I'd say she could be quite successful as a trial lawyer.
Go Team Nat!
@@mandog-FYT You, ser dog, have not understood a single word of my initial comment. Also, I really do not care for your opinion. Marry her already.
She's great alright -- that's not why I watch shxt on youtube. If you do, great for you.
That being said: good day to you.
