#58 - Matthew Pines: Bitcoin and the Future of Politics

Matthew Pines is is a Fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute specializing in national security. He has also written an in-depth report for the Bitcoin Policy Institute which we discuss.

In today’s episode of the Somi Arian Podcast, Matthew and I dive into some profound and complex questions around bitcoin and macroeconomic shifts, including the United Kingdom opening up to Crypto assets. This was probably one of my favourite conversations on this podcast so far, and I hope you’ll enjoy it too!
