Now, when Trump is balanced, introducing his own cryptographic ventures and asking for legislation establishing (delicate) digital provisions on assets that will appear on his desk until August, his voices of supporters would drown out bitcoiners who warn them how to abandon their cryptographic principles can threaten their community.
“Attitude to [politicize bitcoin] It is really dangerous for everyone, because the message about what Bitcoin is doing – is omitted [as it becomes] This is a tool for the Republican Party – says Erik Cason, author of the book Cryptosovereignty.
In the panel entitled “Bitcoiners becomes the flatterers of the state:” He develops a crowd on the floor of the conference: “The amount of sucking the cock towards the political plant is embarrassing and disgusting,” he says. “You can have bitcoins today and get out of this fucking plant that is to steal you and redistribute this money for war and horror”-
Among the loud shouts, an elderly man gets up and pumps his fist in harmony. The man behind him strikes his foot definitely.
Politicians – that is, more than we need them – continues Bruce Fenton, founder and general director of Fintech Company Chainstone Labs. “We should refuse to meet them” – we invented Nerd Money that they could not stop with all their tanks.
They say that the state is not only dangerous as a vehicle of war; Adaptation to one political party is also risky because it can cause reactionary slack. The next time the Democrats take control, Cason is afraid that they are “GO After Bitcoin and Crypto Demanding” –
Bitcoiners – “We have not been understood that we are now our own political accident, and wandering on both sides is a great harm,” he tells me after the conference. “The plaque is not for the right or on the left. It is downstairs, not at the top.
Bitcoin Purists could count on the vocal support of Ross Ulbricht, a former Silk Road Market Dim-Web operator (where users could utilize bitcoins to buy drugs). Ulbricht became a symbol of cryptocurrencies acting by the principles of the state, when he was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2015. Trump pardoned him at the beginning of this year.
Ulbricht’s freedom was such a key issue for the Bitcoin community that David Bailey, the general director of BTC Inc, who organized Bitcoin 2025, made sure that during the 2024 campaign he told how high priority was the pardon of Ulbricht for his voting block. But the appearance of Ulbricht at the conference is paradoxical: his anti -state moods were sanctioned by the state that he wanted to bypass.
“The impression that people have, that Bitcoiners simply care about money,” Mother Ulbricht, Lyn, who has been participating in the Bitcoin conference for years, working on the release of his son, tells me, but many are idealistic and caring. Prison, he says.
When Ulbricht enters the main stage, slim and confident in a long, red tie, he does not thank Trump directly (he is “interesting that we chose him”). I don’t thank Bailey for his spokesman and even his mother for her tireless efforts. I thank the audience, whom he calls for “old True with our principles” of freedom, decentralization, and, as he emphasizes, unity. “It’s more important than ever,” says how the popularity of Bitcoin has spread.
