Why America Is Winning the Bitcoin Race w/ Sam Wouters

<p>Sam Wouters is the Director of Marketing at River. </p> <p>In this episode, we discuss why the U.S. is emerging as the dominant force in Bitcoin adoption, how proof-of-reserves has evolved in a post-FTX world, and why retail interest in Bitcoin remains muted despite all-time highs. We also discuss how institutional involvement might be both a blessing and a curse, the psychological barriers stopping new retail entrants, the moral responsibility of Bitcoiners to re-engage no-coiners, and what the next phase of Bitcoin might look like.</p> <p>THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS: IREN: <a href="https://www.iren.com/">https://www.iren.com/</a> RIVER: <a href="https://river.com/wbd">https://river.com/wbd</a> ANCHORWATCH: <a href="https://www.anchorwatch.com/">https://www.anchorwatch.com/</a> COINKITE: <a href="https://store.coinkite.com/promo/WBD">https://store.coinkite.com/promo/WBD</a> BLOCKWARE: <a href="https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com/wbd">https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com/wbd</a> </p> <p>Follow: Danny Knowles: <a href="https://x.com/_DannyKnowles">https://x.com/_DannyKnowles</a> or <a href="https://primal.net/danny">https://primal.net/danny</a> Sam Wouters: <a href="https://x.com/SDWouters">https://x.com/SDWouters</a></p>
