Troy Cross, Bitcoin Policy Institute Fellow and Professor of Philosophy, joins Bitcoin Magazine Political Correspondent Frank Corva at the Bitcoin Policy Summit to unpack the surprising political implications of Bitcoin’s accelerating adoption. With 48 million Americans now owning bitcoin—and institutional capital pouring in—Bitcoin is primed to continue political disruption, potentially posing a problem (and opportunity) for Democrats going forward.
This conversation dives into the latest polling data from the Nakamoto Project, including the shift in Bitcoin voter demographics, and the mounting reputational risk for the Democratic Party. Cross warns that the Bitcoin bull market isn’t just a market phenomenon—it’s a generational realignment that could reshape elections.
