The Modern Wage Crisis & Bitcoin's Institutional Takeover | Bitcoin Policy Hour Ep. 22

This week on Bitcoin Policy Hour, Zack Cohen, Zack Shapiro, and Ken Egan break down a change in U.S. financial policy: the Bitcoin for America Act, a bill that could allow Americans to pay taxes in bitcoin and fund a strategic national bitcoin reserve. We also explore Middle East Bitcoin adoption, why Harvard’s endowment just made BTC its largest equity position, and the economic crisis facing young Americans — with new research showing it may take $140,000 a year just to survive in 2024.
