Roughly 60-70% of Bitcoin is still held by individuals. I would venture to say principled people.

More purchasing power = more influence/ability to push positive legislative changes (better tax treatment, privacy tech support, repeal BSA etc). With higher price bitcoiners “have the cards”

Feel free to disagree but that’s how I see it

Crazy just 8 months ago Germany sold all its bitcoin at $58k

The USD denominated price of bitcoin

It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on!

This list is disappointing - full of regulated KYC exchanges with no proof of reserves and centralized shitcoin founders pushing unsustainable models.

The REAL #Bitcoin leaders who should be at President Trump’s White House crypto summit are the builders and innovators driving sovereignty, privacy, and decentralization:

The @SamouraiWallet founders, who created one of the few privacy-preserving Bitcoin technologies, empowering users against surveillance ⚔️

@adam3us, whose work informed Bitcoin's design and was cited in the whitepaper by Satoshi 🧠

@saifedean, the most respected figure in Bitcoin, the man behind orange-pilling hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people to adopt Bitcoin’s vision 💡

@_MattHill_and @start9labs, building freedom tech so 8 billion people can easily run a Bitcoin node and self-host their data, decentralizing the network 🌐

@FOUNDATIONdvcs, for making an easy-to-use hardware wallet, ensuring everyone can store their own keys and use secure, air-gapped wallets for signing transactions 🔐

@nvk and @COLDCARDwallet, for crafting an ultra-secure hardware device with advanced features that every Bitcoin enthusiast, deep down the rabbit hole, will love and trust 🛡️

@craigraw and @SparrowWallet, for developing an intuitive, open-source wallet that anyone can download and use to manage their Bitcoin securely 🐦

@Leishman and the team at @River, one of the few financial institutions with an ethical business model, prioritizing Bitcoin and user control ✅

@natbrunell, for tirelessly interviewing Bitcoin leaders and advocating for mass Bitcoin adoption through her influential platform 🎙️

@BTCPrague, one of the rare conferences not founded or dominated by shitcoin companies, focusing purely on Bitcoin’s future 📢

@SimplyBitcoinTV, producing daily content dedicated exclusively to Bitcoin, educating and inspiring the community without distraction 👀

@FutureBit, @skot9000, and other solo mining companies, enabling the average individual to run a Bitcoin node and mine, fostering true decentralization for all ⛏️

And we could list many more. It's people like this that are the true champions of Bitcoin’s promise - the ones building the tools to grant you self-sovereignty, privacy, and freedom.

These are the people building the future 💪🫡

So Tucker Carlson interviewed Roger Ver (scammer) then Luke Gromen (didn’t mention Bitcoin at all), and now SBF. Sad

No, it’s not 😄

Trump wants lower rates and he will get them

Eliminating cap gains on bitcoin would probably put a lot of downward pressure on price near term, no?
