Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, $1M BTC FOMO, & 0.2% Bitcoin Adoption | Jesse Myers (Croesus)

"Any Bitcoiner who is mad that governments are getting involved in Bitcoin was always being unrealistic about what the path of maturation is for a nascent store value asset."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Jesse Myers (AKA Croesus). They discuss the inevitability of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, how EARLY we are to adoption, why most people will FOMO buy at $1M per BTC, Microstrategy's Bitcoin Strategy, the Yuppie Elite dismissing Bitcoin, and more.
