Trace Mayer joins Robin Seyr to discuss the explosive growth of Bitcoin from a six-figure market cap to a six-figure price in just 16 years, and the current window of opportunity to advance monetary sovereignty through legislation like the Clarity Act and Genius Act. They trace his journey from launching the Run to Gold blog in 2008 and studying Austrian economics to becoming one of Bitcoin's earliest public advocates, helping fund Kraken and Armory, and pioneering the stock-to-flow framework. The conversation covers the history of digital gold currencies, the challenges of monetary innovation under heavy regulation, GATA's exposure of gold price suppression, and why Bitcoin's decentralized verification makes it a superior tool for monetary sovereignty compared to gold.
