In a timely episode, Alex Gladstein, chief strategy officer at the Human Rights Foundation, and James McGinniss, CEO and co-founder of David Energy, come onto the show to discuss Bitcoin, the petrodollar, and how to contextualize the energy usage of the first cryptocurrency (BTC) versus the leading fiat currency (USD).

---comparing the carbon cost of a dollar to Bitcoin’s energy consumption
---what both James and Alex think of the Square and Ark Invest research paper saying renewable energy production could be tied with Bitcoin mining
---why measuring Bitcoin’s energy usage is difficult
---how Bitcoin mining in China is changing for the better
---how the Biden administration might impact Bitcoin

---why Robinhood decided to add crypto back in early 2018
---how Robinhood’s crypto operations work on the back end
---why Robinhood does not allow users to move crypto off-platform
