Crypto vs Democracy: How Bitcoin Billionaires Are Buying Congress w/ Molly White and Dave Troy

Is crypto just digital money—or a tool to undermine American democracy? In this explosive debut episode of the Nerd Reich Podcast, host Gil Duran is joined by crypto critics Molly White (Web3 Is Going Just Great) and Dave Troy (America 2.0) to expose the political underbelly of cryptocurrency—and how it's infiltrating both parties in Washington.

We dig deep into:

🚨The ideological roots of crypto in anti-government extremism 💰 How billionaires like Brian Armstrong (Coinbase) are pushing the "Network State" - The real goals of the crypto industry: regulatory capture, wealth concentration, and societal control - The so-called "Crypto Corruption Bill" (GENIUS Act) and its bipartisan backers - Why Democrats like Adam Schiff, Alex Padilla, and Ruben Gallego are joining the crypto cult - Geopolitical chaos: how crypto enables Russia, North Korea, and economic destabilization

- And why we may be eventually heading toward a new financial collapse — unless we act now

"Crypto isn't just about money. It's about power — and who gets to control the future."
