In this episode, we dive deep into the intersection of blockchain, politics, and the future of finance with the insights of Lee Bratcher, President & Founder of the Texas Blockchain Council. We kick off by discussing Zeebu and the Council's work, followed by a powerful conversation on digital property rights and the evolving landscape of blockchain legislation in Texas. Lee sheds light on Bitcoin’s influence on politics, including Trump’s stance and the critical role of swing states. We explore why the U.S. must embrace technology to stay competitive and how Bitcoin could potentially extend the U.S. dollar's dominance as the world's reserve currency—and even make the U.S. debt-free within 12 years. Next, we focus on the Texas Bitcoin mining scene, which produces 54% of the U.S. hashrate, and the dynamic relationship between energy demand and miners. We then shift gears to discuss RWA (Real-World Assets) and how incentive structures could reshape industries. Zeebu's role in telecom payments is explored, positioning it as a revolutionary force in decentralized finance (DeFi). As the conversation wraps up, Lee and the Zeebu team share their bold predictions for Bitcoin’s future, with a glimpse into how Bitcoin could serve as a global reserve currency and stabilize economic systems worldwide. Finally, we conclude with a vision of Texas positioning itself as a Bitcoin strategic reserve leader.
