What's the Problem, New Zealand?
"What's the Problem?" is a presentation by UK Bitcoiner Joe Bryan, released in January 2025 as an attempt to explain the downstream problems in society caused by the quality of our money.
In Joe's own words "Well, people don't value a solution unless they understand that there's a problem… " and this is Joe's attempt at explaining the problem in a unique and entertaining way.
The video took the Bitcoin world by storm, and since launch has been viewed nearly 250,000 times and Joe has appeared on podcasts and at conferences all over the world telling the story.
Joe made all the resources for the presentation open source and free for anyone to use, so at Bitkiwi XII in Queenstown in March 2025, with Joe's help, we presented "What's the Problem?", with some additional information added in to give a New Zealand context.
Here, we present an online version of that presentation, with clips from the original video and some added narration and context from New Zealand.
