Orange-Pilling a City: How Santa Monica is Embracing Bitcoin | Lana and Dom
Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, in this episode, we’re diving into how Bitcoin is making waves in Santa Monica, California. I’m joined by Lana Negrete, the Mayor of Santa Monica, and Dom, a firefighter and Bitcoin advocate, who are on a mission to orange pill their city and bring Bitcoin-powered innovation to their community.
We talk about how they’re using Bitcoin to drive tourism, boost economic freedom, and challenge the fiat system. Dom shares how he’s onboarding firefighter unions, wage earners, and pension funds into Bitcoin, while Lana explains why she sees Bitcoin as a game-changer for city governments.
We touch on the challenges too, like getting retailers to accept Bitcoin and working around outdated payment systems. Plus, we chat about lessons from El Salvador’s Bitcoin adoption, why more unions and pensions are looking at Bitcoin, and how the 2028 LA Olympics could be a huge opportunity to showcase Bitcoin to the world.
