Was this year’s Bitcoin conference the high-water mark we were promised — or did something get lost in translation?
In this episode of The Bitcoin Effect, Nate Martin breaks down the key moments from the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas:
🔹 Trump’s executive order for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve🔹 JD Vance’s unapologetically pro-Bitcoin keynote🔹 Senator Lummis’s legislative groundwork from 2024🔹 International power plays from Pakistan and the UK🔹 Bitcoin-backed loans, SEC reform talk, and… Ross Ulbricht🔹 The all-too-predictable conference dip🔹 And yes — the growing tension between Bitcoin Maxis and the rise of stablecoin policy
