Unchained

Marty sits down with David Zell, Executive Director of the Bitcoin Policy Institute, to break down the Coinbase de minimis lobbying controversy and what it means for Bitcoin's future as money. They cover the crypto lobby's influence on Capitol Hill, Bitcoin's case as a national security asset, the petrodollar's decline, and why Bitcoiners need to engage their elected officials now. The window for getting Bitcoin tax reform done is narrow, and the people who should be fighting for it may not be.
