BITCOIN, TRUMP, FREEDOM & THE AMERICAN IDEA - ERIK CASON & AMERICAN HODL

"F**k this fiat bulls**t, f**k CBDCs... it's time for us to really start rebuilding in a meaningful and thoughtful way on top of a Bitcoin standard because that's really an American standard."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Bitcoin OG legends American Hodl and Erik Cason. They discuss Trump winning the 2024 election and what it means for America and Bitcoin. They also dig into Bitcoiners as an emergent political force, a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, Ross Ulbricht nation-state adoption, nationalism, individualism, States vs the Federal Government, and a whole lot more.
