“If you can enlarge the constituency of people who really, really care about Bitcoin, have a real stake in it, who are willing to fight really hard, and will vote on that basis, then politicians are going to realize that alienating or antagonising that constituency has a greater cost than going along with what they have to say.”
— Avik Roy

Avik Roy is president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity think tank and a policy Editor at Forbes. In this interview, we discuss why Trump is supporting Bitcoin & crypto, the power of the growing Bitcoin voter base, and the coming fight with regulators.
