The Race for the First Bitcoin State in the U.S.

Dom Bei and Chris Alaimo discuss the latest developments in Bitcoin legislation across the United States. The conversation also touches on the challenges of states holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets, especially when many stakeholders may not be familiar with or invested in Bitcoin themselves.

In addition to state legislation, the episode covers Apple's recent decision to pull end-to-end encryption for iCloud in the UK, raising concerns about privacy and data security. The hosts also discuss Citadel Securities' move into the Bitcoin and crypto liquidity space and the implications of MicroStrategy's aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
