Mikey Smith & Kevin Whitmore / NZ Bitcoin Safe Haven? Ep 534

If New Zealand approved a 'de minimus' tax exception for small Bitcoin transactions, we might become a magnet for the type of people who could make this country great again. This conversation was recorded before the Coldcard exploit, which cost hundreds of holders their coins, was known. I'm joined by Mikey Smith, founder and CEO of Guardian Smith and Treasurer of Bitcoin Policy New Zealand, and Kevin Whitmore, Chair of Bitcoin Policy New Zealand: two people who live and breathe this stuff, and who bring both the policy chops and the on-the-ground perspective to make sense of it.Is it a good idea for you to own Bitcoin in your KiwiSaver?
