Is the U.S. government accumulating Bitcoin behind the scenes? Brandon Keys joins Eric V Stacks to explore self-custody vs custodial risk, corporate bitcoin adoption, nation-state adoption, if anyone can catch Saylor and MSTR, whether Coinbase could collapse, and whether the four-year cycle is officially over. They also discuss Tether’s impact on the U.S. bond market, Jamie Dimon’s war on Bitcoin, why it's time for Brian Armstrong to stop selling sh*tcoins, and when the green candles are coming. Brandon Keys is a data analyst and co-founder of Green Candle Investments, a bitcoin and finance media company.
