Are government-backed "Trump Accounts" a genuine benefit for your children's future, or a mechanism to funnel wealth into Wall Street? In this episode of Bitcoin Banter, Tony, Michael and Katie deconstruct these state-managed accounts and explain why financial sovereignty begins with bitcoin self custody.
They also examine threats to the open internet through government control over social media, analyze the risks of Strike Bitcoin loans, and discuss the current state of Bitcoin culture after recent industry events. Finally, we tackle our Donkey of the Week, highlighting some serious institutional irony.
