Why is gold ripping while Bitcoin lags? The team breaks it down on this week's Bitcoin Policy Hour. It's not just tariffs — it's China's deliberate strategy to build gold-based financial rails and challenge dollar dominance. Beijing injected $1T yuan this year, debasing against gold on purpose. Meanwhile, Bitcoin got hit by leverage liquidations from tariff volatility. The solution? Fund the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and let BTC compete as premier hard money.

The Bitcoin for America Act, introduced by Rep. Warren Davidson, is simply good policy. During last week's Bitcoin Policy Hour, the BPI team broke down why: It’s not just about stacking — it’s about stopping future admins from "rugging" the reserve. The bill codifies the SBR, but the real alpha is the uncapped capital gains exemption. Pay taxes in BTC, reset your cost basis without the hit, and lock it up for 20 years. It’s the Federal Government finally admitting Bitcoin is money. WATCH:
