In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, host Walker America sits down with Troy Cross, professor of philosophy and co-founder of the Nakamoto Project, to unpack the latest comprehensive survey on Bitcoin adoption, sentiment, and politics in the U.S. This is the most in-depth data set to date on how Americans really think about Bitcoin.

🔍 Topics Covered:

  • 🇺🇸 Walker’s eye-opening meetings with congressional staffers and why most don’t understand the difference between Bitcoin and Trump Coin
  • 💥 Senator Dick Durbin’s anti-Bitcoin rant—and how it reveals deep generational and ideological gaps
  • 📊 Key findings from Troy’s new Bitcoin survey: 48 million Americans have exposure to Bitcoin
  • 📉 Why Bitcoin sentiment is declining on the left, despite institutional and political wins
  • 🧠 “Bitcoiners Are Just People Who Know About Bitcoin” — how knowledge, not identity, drives adoption
  • 🧭 The rise of “moral maximalism” among Bitcoiners — a unique moral profile unlike left or right
  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Bitcoin ownership by age, race, gender, political ideology, and income level
  • 🪙 Should the U.S. convert some of its gold to Bitcoin? Troy reveals surprising data on public support
  • ⚖️ Why Bitcoin adoption is becoming polarized—and how political tribalism could hinder broader access

🔥 Whether you’re a Bitcoiner, policymaker, or just Bitcoin-curious, this episode is packed with data-driven insights, philosophical perspective, and firsthand Capitol Hill drama you won’t hear anywhere else.
