Bitcoin Magazine is proud to introduce The Censorship Resistant Issue, our Q2 print magazine release for 2022. This issue explores the censorship resistant quality of Bitcoin, holding it up to judge the journalists, the gatekeepers, the policy makers and the freedom fighters of recent memory. Our longest edition to date, Bitcoin Magazine asked our writers to think deeply on divisive subjects regarding free speech and the implications of unstoppable financial transactions. We now humbly ask our beloved subscribers to do the same.
The Censorship Resistant Issue is available at Barnes & Noble in the US and Indigo in Canada. You can purchase it now from our store online.
