Self-Custody Under Threat, Why Banks Can't Hold Bitcoin & the 2028 AI Crisis | BPH Ep 29

The Bitcoin Policy Hour addresses key policy issues, beginning with the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act and bipartisan concerns that key provisions protecting self-custody and software developers may be negotiated away. Ken Egan urges listeners to contact representatives, emphasizing the importance of these provisions to Bitcoiners. The discussion shifts to the Bank of International Settlements' Basel Framework, specifically Connor Brown's paper criticizing the 1,250% risk weight for banks holding Bitcoin, which Zack Shapiro argues is a punitive measure driven by anti-Bitcoin sentiment. Finally, the panel analyzes Citrini Research's "2028 Global Intelligence Crisis" report, which forecasts a deflationary bust due to AI-driven job displacement and the potential impact on white-collar real estate and consumer spending.
