Is Government Support Bitcoin's Biggest Threat? | Bitcoin Backstage w/ Jesse Powell & Faryar Shirzad

This episode of Bitcoin Backstage explores whether government support for Bitcoin, particularly under the new Trump administration, is a breakthrough or a threat to its core principles. Host Isabella Santos unpacks the history of financial surveillance and asks if bipartisan backing comes at the cost of privacy and independence.

At the Inaugural Crypto Ball, Jesse Powell (Kraken) and Faryar Shirzad (Coinbase) discuss Washington’s pivot toward Bitcoin, the idea of a U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve, and the policies that could define its future. Does Bitcoin need government approval—or does it thrive without it?
