Mark Goodwin explains how stablecoins may be yoking Bitcoin to the dollar system, creating a mechanism for the US to maintain global financial dominance while appearing to embrace cryptocurrency. He argues Bitcoiners must fight to keep Bitcoin permissionless.
Author of "The Bitcoin Dollar" Mark Goodwin joins us to discuss how stablecoins may be the US government's strategy to maintain dollar hegemony by yoking Bitcoin to the dollar system. He explains how private stablecoin issuers must buy US treasuries, creating artificial dollar demand while enabling surveillance. Mark argues that while Bitcoin pumps, Bitcoiners must fight to preserve its permissionless nature or risk merely empowering the state rather than creating true freedom for individuals.

- PayPal offering 3.7% yield on PYUSD stablecoin
- Bitcoin inflation fell below gold in May 2020
