About this episode
In this episode of Galaxy Brains, Alex Thorn is joined by Matt Pines, Executive Director of the Bitcoin Policy Institute, for a deep dive into national Bitcoin strategy, including the concept of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the mechanics and potential of BitBonds, and the looming risks of quantum computing to Bitcoin’s cryptography. They explore how sovereign adoption, fiscal policy, and geopolitical shifts may shape the future of Bitcoin. Alex also speaks with Galaxy Trading’s Beimnet Abebe about rising recession risks, tariff impacts, and why markets may be mispricing coming slowdowns.
