Summary
Conner Brown from the Bitcoin Policy Institute joins to break down AI and Bitcoin policy moving through Washington. We cover Taiwan’s legislative push for Bitcoin reserves, foreign influence campaigns targeting American data centers, and why open source AI matters for crypto adoption. Plus: how AI agents are already choosing Bitcoin, the real story behind company brains and LLM workflows, and the fight to keep DC from regulating innovation out of existence.
