Welcome back to Bitcoin Season 2! Today, Charlie and Colin break down Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Prague keynote where he tells people to leverage it all for bitcoin – including borrowing from family members (what could go wrong?). Plus, the FHFA’s directive ordering Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to recognize crypto as legitimate assets for mortgages, a new Bitcoin stablecoin launch, and the weird on-chain “clocking in” game that’s creating the only regular fees on Bitcoin right now.
