    Can local civic engagement turn the tide for cryptocurrency advocacy? Our guest, a prominent Bitcoin and Web3 advocate, shares his journey from an economics background to establishing Florida's largest Bitcoin advocacy firm. We explore the weighty influence of state-level organizing and lobbying, shedding light on landmark moves like the anti-central bank digital currency bill and the strategic political coordination that parallels efforts like overturning Roe v Wade.

    Imagine a dinner at Mar-a-Lago where Trump, once a vocal critic of cryptocurrency, suddenly shows his support. We recount that astonishing evening and delve into how interactions with the crypto community, including the founder of Polygon, may have reformed his views. The political divide in cryptocurrency support is laid bare, contrasting the backing from Republican states like Florida and Texas with the opposition from Democratic bastions such as New York and California, driven by financial entities feeling threatened by the crypto revolution.

    Lobbying and political influence are dissected, likened to venture capital funding, where early investments in candidates yield long-term sway. The episode emphasizes the power of local political engagement, recounting real-world scenarios where tech-friendly policies could boost local economies. Finally, we round off with a rapid-fire session, offering swift reactions on a myriad of topics from Bitcoin and Elon Musk to Greta Thunberg and Saudi Arabia, ensuring an engaging and enlightening listen.
