Get Real 07.02.26

Show Notes

A 140-company dollar. An ETF exodus. A fight over Bitcoin's own rules. Cory Klippsten and Emily Dempsey get real about Open USD, the stablecoin backed by Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, and BlackRock: open branding, permissioned money. Then the worst month ever for Bitcoin ETFs ($4.5B out in June) while Strategy kept buying and long-term holders hit a record 16.6M BTC held. Plus the fight over changing Bitcoin's rules, the end of the altcoin era, VPN bans, custodial vs non-custodial, and the week Bitcoin first hit the mainstream in 2010. Afterparty on X Spaces with @CorySwan. Get Real is Swan Bitcoin's weekly show.
