Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW.

It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world.

What's going on, guys? It is Monday, February 24th. And today we are talking about Bitcoin's

State Bill Bull Run. Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying the breakdown,

please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into

the conversation, come join us on the breaker Discord. You can find a link in the show notes,

or go to bit.ly slash breakdown

pod. Hello friends, a quick note before we dive in. I am actually traveling this week with my podcast

equipment, of course, but because of that, the planning has been a little bit jumbled, and of course

we had the big by-bit exchange hack that happened at the end of last week, which threw everything

a little bit into chaos. Today's episode is not going

to be about that hack, because I have an interesting guest who's doing an interview about this,

and that interview isn't quite prepped, so that will be tomorrow's show where we dig into the

details. Today's show was recorded in advance of that by-bit hack, and so you're getting things

a little bit out of sequence, but I promise that by the end of the next couple of days, you will have everything all neatly organized, just a little out of order.

Anyways, just wanted to flag, that is why I am not talking about bybit on this show, but rest assured

that content is coming. Thanks as always for listening, and let's get back to today's episode.

All right, friends, well, last week, the big theme was very clearly meme coin drama.

Interestingly, though, had that not happened, there were a number of Bitcoin adoption

stories that went all too under the radar. Today, we're going to catch up on a bunch of that

news, because it really underscores just how different Bitcoin is relative to the rest of crypto during this cycle.

In state legislatures across the country, Bitcoin bills are moving forward.
