    Post-AI Economics in the Age of Bitcoin | The Bitcoin Policy Hour

    Episode #3 of the Bitcoin Policy Hour, hosted by the Bitcoin Policy Institute. Policy experts Matthew Pines, Zack Shapiro, and Zack Cohen explore the radical implications of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and how Bitcoin might serve as a stabilizing counterforce in a world dominated by AI. Drawing from the viral “AI 2027” scenario, they examine the risks of alignment failure, economic disruption, and geopolitical escalation—and argue why Bitcoin’s monetary properties could make it the most important freedom-preserving infrastructure of the post-AI era.

    BitBonds: The $2 TRILLION Plan to Fix America's Debt Crisis | Bitcoin Backstage feat. Alex McShane

    America is $34 trillion in debt—but a radical new idea called BitBonds could change everything. Backed by Bitcoin and pitched to U.S. Senators by Andrew Hohns, this $2 trillion refinancing plan could transform federal finance and put Bitcoin at the heart of U.S. monetary strategy. In this episode of Bitcoin Backstage, Isabella Santos breaks down how BitBonds work, what they means for investors, and why the government may adopt Bitcoin faster than anyone expects. PLUS, we go backstage with Alex McShane, former Director of Programming at the Bitcoin Conference, at Bitcoin MENA 2024 for his take on sovereign and institutional Bitcoin adoption trends.

    Why Bitcoin Will DISRUPT The $300T Real Estate Market | The Culture Bit feat. Nik Bhatia

    Nik Bhatia—adjunct Professor of Finance and Business Economics at USC and author of the new book "Bitcoin Age"—joins "The Culture Bit" guest Host Frank Corva to explore how Bitcoin is poised to disrupt traditional wealth storage systems like real estate, cash, and bonds. Bhatia, a USC professor and former bond trader, breaks down why Bitcoin isn’t just “digital gold,” but a revolutionary form of permanent money that challenges the foundations of how humanity stores and transfers wealth across generations.
