TPB100 - U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve with Yael Ossowski and Pierre Rochard
"Getting that strategic reserve to be essentially a path forward to transition from the dollar to Bitcoin, is critical." - Pierre Rochard
My guests today are Yael Ossowski and Pierre Rochard. Yael is Deputy Director at the Consumer Choice Center and a visiting fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute. Pierre is VP of Research at Riot Platforms.
In this episode we explore the debate around a potential US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, including legislation introduced by Representative Cynthia Lummis, discussing its implications for fiscal policy, individual rights, and global adoption. Pierre and Yaël offer contrasting views on the proposal's merits and potential impact on Bitcoin's future, with Pierre arguing in the affirmative, and Yael holding more reservations. Pierre and Yael also offer thoughts on current partisanship in DC around Bitcoin, and offer some progressive arguments for Bitcoin that more democrats should consider.
