The Upcoming Bitcoin Institutional Boom with Jeff Garzik & Max Sanchez

Bitcoin is so back. Institutions are talking about it more than ever and are investing at a rapid pace, while the US government is setting up a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

In today's episode, we explore the "Back to Bitcoin" thesis with Hemi co-founders Jeff Garzik and Max Sanchez.

Hemi takes the best from Bitcoin and Ethereum, combining Bitcoin's security with Ethereum's programmability. How? They embed a Bitcoin full node into the EVM, allowing developers to interact with Bitcoin in completely new ways.

We cover Hemi's successful mainnet launch, their Bitcoin tunneling system, and how they're enabling new possibilities without compromising security. Their technology supports both bridged assets and native Bitcoin interactions.

This conversation highlights Bitcoin's growing influence, with nation-states potentially becoming the next major adopters after institutions.

Let's get into it.
