Show Notes

Matthew Pines explores the intricate relationship between Bitcoin and global power dynamics. The video examines how the game theory of Bitcoin adoption is shifting traditional geopolitical power structures and creating new opportunities, and new threats, for nations. “Time traveling AI is not going to accept Treasury securities or gold or our civilizational barter.
