How Bitcoin Is Progressive, Crypto Funds in Problems, and More!
This week on Unchained: Don't miss the interviews on the progressive case for Bitcoin, and with lawyer Larry Florio. Plus, a new episode of The Chopping Block.
Progressive Bitcoiners Trey Walsh and Jason Maier break down why people with their political leanings should embrace Bitcoin and how it could influence the upcoming election.
As the 2024 elections draw near, Bitcoin and crypto have become hot topics on the political stage. In this episode, Trey Walsh, host of The Progressive Bitcoiner podcast, and Jason Maier, author of “A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin,” explain why they believe progressive values align with Bitcoin. They discuss how Bitcoin can be a tool for social justice and financial inclusion, challenge misconceptions about its environmental impact, and debate whether making Bitcoin a presidential issue in 2024 was premature.
With Sen. Elizabeth Warren attacking crypto and the unfriendly environment for the industry under the Biden administration, the guests also highlight that there’s a slight change in the Democratic party, though they are not certain that the Harris campaign will adopt a pro-Bitcoin stance.

The SEC and CFTC’s recent actions against Uniswap and Galois Capital could mark a turning point in crypto regulation. With both firms settling on relatively low fines, are we witnessing regulators establish precedent for a broader crackdown on the industry?
