"Bitcoin is going to do just fine. The adoption will keep going and the understanding will keep going. And the politicians will slowly come on board as the voters do." - Jason Maier

My guest today is Jason Maier. Jason is a high school math teacher, educator, and author of “A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin.” In this episode we discusses the political landscape of Bitcoin, focusing on Trump's recent Bitcoin-friendly stance and its implications. We explore the need for a Democratic Bitcoin strategy, the importance of grassroots education, and how Bitcoin aligns with progressive values, emphasizing its potential for global financial inclusion and environmental benefits. In a crucial election year, these issues, and bitcoin education for everyone, including progressives and democrats, is more important than ever.
