In this episode, I speak with 22-year wall street Veteran and founder of CustodiaBank (formerly Avanti Bank), Caitlin Long! We talk about the latest in policy and the fight against regulation happening in Wyoming. We also touch on what people can do to get more involved in helping their communities pass Bitcoin laws. Caitlin shares some of the laws and regulations she helped push in Wyoming to make it an oasis for Bitcoin and Blockchain-based companies. If you want to learn the basics on how to make your home city, state, or country more in line with the Bitcoin future, you won't want to miss this episode. 

I hope you enjoyed this conversation as much as I did. I appreciate you for always tuning in. Thank you as always and I will see you on the other side!
