Episode notes
"If we popped the quantum solution today, I think we'd be at $150K in two months." That's Ken Egan's call on Bitcoin Policy Hour Episode 36, joined by Zack Shapiro and host Zack Cohen. The trio walk through the Tillis-Brooks stablecoin yield compromise, the Clarity Act markup window, Admiral Paparo's watershed Indo-Pacom Bitcoin testimony, Secretary Hegseth's national security follow-up, and the quantum issue holding institutional capital on the sideline.
