Matthew Pines is the Director of Intelligence at SentinelOne and Head of Strategy at the Bitcoin Policy Institute. In this interview, we discuss the concept of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the feasibility of executive action to acquire Bitcoin, and the game theory behind nation-state adoption. We also get into the geopolitical competition between the US and China, the risks of global economic reordering, the impact of stablecoins, the role of treasury bonds in the financial system, UAPs, and the potential for Bitcoin to shape the future of global monetary policy.
