Wargaming the Oil Crisis, Bitcoin's Role in US-China Competition, & AI Agent Payments | BPH Ep 31
The Iran conflict is sending global oil markets into crisis, and the ripple effects could trigger a geopolitical reset with massive implications for Bitcoin. In this episode of Bitcoin Policy Hour, Ken, Zack Shapiro, and host Zack Cohen break down Bitcoin's strategic role in U.S.-China competition, why Lightning Network is becoming the payment standard for AI agents, and the CFTC's precedent-setting no-action letter on non-custodial wallets. They also tackle Basel III's punitive 1,250% capital requirements for banks holding Bitcoin and the fight for a Bitcoin de minimis tax exemption on Capitol Hill.🔶 Connect with Zack Shapiro on X: https://x.com/zackbshapiro
