Episode notes
Special Guest, Dennis Porter of Satoshi Action Fund, returns to The Bitcoin Beat with Shaun and Jeff to discuss the recent comments by Samuel Paparo. As the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) commander Admiral Samuel Paparo confirmed this to Congress, stating that the military is actively running operational tests to secure communications and protect networks using the Bitcoin protocol.
Dennis helps us break down what this means, what the practical implications could mean, and more. We also get an update on some current legislation with the Clarity Act and what the roadblocks could be... and what can be done to overcome those.
