My guest today is Dennis Porter, the co-founder and chairman of the Satoshi Action Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating policymakers about the benefits of Bitcoin and its potential to support broader public policy goals. In this episode, Dennis shares the progress the Satoshi Action Fund has made—from influencing the recent ban on CBDCs in Louisiana to advancing pro-Bitcoin legislation in over 20 U.S. states.
