In this episode, Swedish MP Dennis Dioukarev discusses his viral proposal for Sweden to adopt a strategic Bitcoin reserve—an unprecedented move in the European Union. He breaks down the flawed logic of the Swedish Central Bank's dismissal, explains how Bitcoin aligns with values of freedom and transparency, and outlines the political path forward through Sweden’s governing coalition. Dennis also warns about the risks of CBDCs, defends individual financial sovereignty, and highlights the global race among governments quietly accumulating Bitcoin. Enjoy!
