BITCOIN & THE U.S. DEBT CRISIS w/ Avik Roy

About this episode

Avik Roy is a policy analyst, and the president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity.

In this episode, we discuss why Avik believes the U.S. fiscal situation is heading toward a crisis within the next 20 years, the growing debt problem, and the likelihood of government-imposed capital controls and repression. We also get into Bitcoin's role in this economic landscape, whether the U.S. could adopt Bitcoin in a strategic reserve, and how past monetary shocks—like Executive Order 6102 and the Nixon Shock—inform what might come next.
