With the media and the Biden Administration in an uproar about the potential for Bitcoin, Crypto, or digital assets to be used to avoid sanctions, I brought on Matthew Pines to discuss why he disagrees with this narrative. Matthew is a national security expert and a fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute where he wrote a recent report on why he believes Bitcoin is ill-suited as a tool to help Russia avoid Western Sanctions.

Thank you as always and I will see you on the other side!
