Bitcoin started as a nerdy rebellion against central banks. Now? It’s a cornerstone of the Republican Party’s culture war playbook.

In this explosive episode, we uncover how Bitcoin morphed from a libertarian experiment into a political battering ram for Donald Trump and the GOP. From NFT cash grabs and shady stablecoins to the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the story of crypto in American politics is no longer just about tech—it’s about power, money, and control.

You’ll learn:

• Why Trump suddenly fell in love with Bitcoin 💰

• How crypto became a symbol of “freedom” in the Republican narrative 🗽

• What the GENIUS Act really means for your wallet 🧠💸

• Why Elizabeth Warren is warning of a financial “superhighway to corruption” 🚨

• And how crypto billionaires are reshaping elections behind the scenes 🧨

Whether you HODL or roll your eyes at Bitcoin, this episode reveals a deeper truth: crypto is no longer just digital money—it’s political artillery.

🎙️ Podcast Introduction – Episode Title: The Infinite Glitch and the Feudal Chain

Welcome to Fools’ Digital Gold, the podcast that strips crypto of its cult and exposes the cold, inconvenient truths behind the blockchain buzz.

In today’s episode, we dive into two brutal realities:

1. The rise of Bitcoin treasury companies — firms inflating their stock price simply by buying Bitcoin, chasing what’s now called the “infinite money glitch.”

2. The shocking truth about Bitcoin’s concentrated ownership — where fewer than 160,000 addresses control over 90% of the entire supply.

We’ll explore how companies like MicroStrategy, Tesla, and even small web design firms have turned Bitcoin into a stock market cheat code. Meanwhile, the average Bitcoin holder owns the digital equivalent of pocket change — all while being told they’re part of a financial revolution.
