Even the Government Gets Robbed: Why the US Needs Bitcoin Custody Standards | BPH Ep 44

The government keeps getting robbed of its own Bitcoin and a new bill wants to fix that. The BPI team breaks down the American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA): what it would do for Treasury custody standards, why it has Democratic co-sponsors, and why they're bullish it could pass the House. They also cover the wave of digital-asset departures shaking up DC, from Hester Peirce to Paul Grewal. They also cover Kimi K3, China's open-source push, and the data center fight. 🔶 Connect with Zack Shapiro on X: https://x.com/zackbshapiro🔶 Connect with Zack Cohen on X: https://x.com/zackcohen_🔶 Connect with Ken Egan on X: https://x.com/Bayman11771🔶 Learn more about the Bitcoin Policy Institute: https://www.btcpolicy.org/Chapters: 04:02 — Regulatory FUD: How the US Might Curb Chinese Models10:04 — "FINRA for AI" & the Open-Source Debate16:25 — Why China Went Open Source — and When It Flips19:52 — Xi Jinping's Global AI Governance Play at Shanghai WAIC27:31 — Robots, Health Care & the Industrial AI Layer30:04 — America's Bipartisan Data Center Backlash39:38 — AI's PR Problem: Capital, Labor & Memory Stocks42:38 — The Jacobian Conjecture & Mastering AI Prompting51:10 — ARMA, the Bitcoin Reserve Bill & DC Departures#Bitcoin #BitcoinPolicy #AIpolicy #KimiK3 #OpenSourceAI #OpenWeightModels #ChinaAI #ModelSovereignty #DavidSacks #AIRegulation #WorldAIConference #AIGovernance #DataCenters #DataCenterBacklash #JevonsParadox #ARMA #BitcoinReserve #StrategicBitcoinReserve #TreasuryBitcoin #CryptoPolicy #FreedomTech #AIprompting #FrontierAI #BitcoinPolicyInstitute #TechPolicyDISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or any affiliated entities.
