Dinero, tecnología y libertad individual con Miguel Anxo Bastos

Money, technology and individual freedom

Pablo Gómez, founder and CEO of Metlabs, joins economist Miguel Anxo Bastos on El Diario del Poder for a conversation about money and individual freedom. The episode brings the technical perspective of a blockchain entrepreneur into a discussion of economic ideas, personal choices and the institutions that shape them. La Vanguardia covers the exchange, identifying Gómez as a participant.

Bitcoin, stablecoins and central bank digital currencies form part of the discussion. These are different monetary arrangements, with different ways of issuing units and establishing transfer rules. The question of programmable money connects those technical choices with who can impose conditions on its use, and with the freedom of the person holding it.

Effort, entrepreneurship and tokenization

La Vanguardia also reports Bastos’s reflections on effort and entrepreneurship. His argument questions the idea that determination alone guarantees any outcome, drawing attention to people’s abilities and circumstances. The coverage discusses his view of work and the relationship between individual interests and economic activity, alongside his criticism of central economic planning.

A separate published clip focuses on tokenization, with both Bastos and Gómez shown in its artwork. It concentrates on the connection between assets and their digital representation, within the wider conversation about the future of money. The complete episode and the clip are distinct recordings linked from this appearance.
