The Bitcoin Public Initiative is a direct democratic effort by Luzius Meisser and Yves Bennaïm for the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to include bitcoin in its reserves. Luzius is a board member of Bitcoin Suisse and Bitcoin Association of Switzerland as well as founder of Meisser Economics and Frankencoin. Yves is founder of 2B4CH, a think tank on bitcoin's impact on society, and part of the Swiss representation to ISO on standards for blockchain and DLT. Both guests lead The Bitcoin Public Initiative, embodying direct democracy in action and prompting discussion on the role of bitcoin as a global reserve asset, the actual energy consumption of bitcoin mining and a comparative look at monetary policy worldwide. This discussion was recorded before any details were released about the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile. This is a uniquely relevant conversation in light of recent chatter about bitcoin as a reserve asset and not to be missed!  X (Twitter): https://x.com/syzthefuture Richard's X (Twitter): https://x.com/RichardByworth Find us on your favorite podcast channels: Youtube: https://youtube.com/@syzthefuture Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Cbky4e Fountain App: https://bit.ly/4e1ItAt Rumble: https://bit.ly/3R5dKp6   Instagram: https://instagram.com/syzthefuture Website: http://syzthefuture.com

Jennifer Wines (https://x.com/jennifer__wines) is the Author of Invisible Wealth and a Certified Wealth Planning Advisor with novel insights into the evolution of wealth in our modern age. After many years spent at Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Fidelity, she observed that clients were reconceptualizing their definition of wealth (largely in part due to the standstill caused by the pandemic) and it set her off on a journey to further explore this question thoroughly. The result was the book Invisible Wealth where she sets out a framework for understanding wealth throughout history and evolving trends today, as well as the historic generational shift in wealth that is currently ongoing. This discussion provides a moment for reflection and consideration on what it really means to build wealth with value and according to our values.
