Bitcoin Back on the Ballot with Avik Roy
“If you can enlarge the constituency of people who really, really care about Bitcoin, have a real stake in it, who are willing to fight really hard, and will vote on that basis, then politicians are going to realize that alienating or antagonising that constituency has a greater cost than going along with what they have to say.”— Avik Roy
Avik Roy is president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity think tank and a policy Editor at Forbes. In this interview, we discuss why Trump is supporting Bitcoin & crypto, the power of the growing Bitcoin voter base, and the coming fight with regulators.

Customer Reviews
Challenging groupthink
“What Bitcoin did” is one of my favorite Bitcoin-podcasts. Peter McCormack is an important podcast-host in the Bitcoin-revolution asking other questions, and challenging groupthink.
Best regards🙏
This is the podcast you're looking for
Peter brings an awesome set of people to the show and continues to deliver up to date, in depth knowledge from a huge range of perspectives. That missing piece of the puzzle you didn't know existed - you'll find it here.
Great show!
This show is worth your time if your interested in bitcoin and Crypto! Good guest, except Gary Vee, he’s the self-centered loud interrupting type that hogs all the attention at the party telling stories about him self.
Love Peter, he’s cool!
