âčïžÂ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Swedish Member of Parliament Dennis Dioukarev discuss why Dennis believes Bitcoin is now a national strategic asset. They talk about the push for a government Bitcoin reserve, the surprising ignorance from central banks, and why Sweden risks falling behind as this monetary shift accelerates. Dennis breaks down how Bitcoin fits into long-term geopolitical and financial strategy, why the e-krona CBDC is dangerous, and the surprising reactions he got after proposing Bitcoin in Parliament. If you want to understand how Bitcoin is entering real politicsâthis conversation shows what that looks like behind the scenes.
