Who Your Bank Is Really Working For w/ BitGo CEO Mike Belshe | BMP 016

"They're funding institutional businesses with lower interest rates by stealing from retail and they don't want you to know this." BitGo CEO Mike Belshe criticizes the traditional banking system in this episode of the Bitcoin Magazine Podcast. He explains why depositors earn 0% while the risk-free rate sits near 4%, how bank failures like SVB keep happening, and why stablecoins and reserve banks offer a safer path forward. Plus: his response to Elizabeth Warren's attack on OCC trust charters.
