BitBonds: The $2 TRILLION Plan to Fix America's Debt Crisis | Bitcoin Backstage feat. Alex McShane

America is $34 trillion in debt—but a radical new idea called BitBonds could change everything. Backed by Bitcoin and pitched to U.S. Senators by Andrew Hohns, this $2 trillion refinancing plan could transform federal finance and put Bitcoin at the heart of U.S. monetary strategy.


In this episode of Bitcoin Backstage, Isabella Santos breaks down how BitBonds work, what they means for investors, and why the government may adopt Bitcoin faster than anyone expects. PLUS, we go backstage with Alex McShane, former Director of Programming at the Bitcoin Conference, at Bitcoin MENA 2024 for his take on sovereign and institutional Bitcoin adoption trends.
