Bitcoin Policy Summit Takes Over DC with Matthew Pines
In this episode of Galaxy Brains, Alex Thorn records live from Washington, D.C., where he’s attending the third annual Bitcoin Policy Summit, hosted by the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI). He welcomes BPI Executive Director Matthew Pines to discuss the growth of the summit, Bitcoin’s evolving role in U.S. policy conversations, and key legislative efforts like the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. They explore how Bitcoin intersects with national strategy, energy policy, and emerging technologies like AI, and why BPI is opening a “Bitcoin embassy” in the heart of D.C.
Plus, Beimnet Abebe (Galaxy Trading) joins to break down a volatile week in markets.
