Ep. 55: Dennis Porter - Bitcoin Policy & State Adoption

My guest today is Dennis Porter, the co-founder and chairman of the Satoshi Action Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating policymakers about the benefits of Bitcoin and its potential to support broader public policy goals.

In this episode, Dennis shares the progress the Satoshi Action Fund has made—from influencing the recent ban on CBDCs in Louisiana to advancing pro-Bitcoin legislation in over 20 U.S. states. We discuss the growing momentum for Bitcoin at the state level, including Pennsylvania’s passage of House Bill 2481, commonly referred to as the Bitcoin Rights Bill, which aims to protect the rights of residents regarding the self-custody of Bitcoin.

We also talk about how Dennis and his team at the Satoshi Action Fund influence lawmakers, using techniques like “microdosing” the orange pill, as well as borrowing ideas from Ronald Reagan on how to get laws passed. Dennis offers a unique perspective on the political and regulatory landscape shaping Bitcoin’s future.

Tune in for an insightful discussion on grassroots advocacy, state-level Bitcoin adoption, and its role in the future of the USA.
