@Jkylebass Bitcoin is the currency of freedom , a hedge against inflation for middle class Americans,a remedy against the dollar’s downgrade from the world’s reserve currency, and the offramp from a ruinous national debt. Bitcoin will have no stronger advocate than Howard Lutnik.

Powerful insight from @DA_Stockman about what is holding back crypto. He is commenting on my recent statement: "I am going to support making direct ownership of Bitcoin tax-free. The conversion of Bitcoin back into dollars will be a non-reportable transaction to the IRS and not subject to capital gain." David says: The significance of the bolded phrases cannot be overstated. The problem with Bitcoin and all other crypto-currencies today is that they are effectively incarcerated on a monetary reservation surrounded by Federal cops and tax collectors. Accordingly, they have developed no meaningful “use” case or attributes of “moneyness” because Bitcoin is quasi-inconvertible: the risks of bringing wealth stored in Bitcoins back across the tax and regulatory ramps to the banking system world of dollars are just too severe. As a result, the crypto-world’s state-erected monetary reservation resembles a gambling casino in the otherwise uninhabitable Nevada desert. Capital goes there to wager and punt, but not to operate, invest and settle. And that, in turn, blocks crypto’s capacity to evolve into a usable and stable non-state money that can function both as a store of value and a transaction medium for everyday commerce. ... The violent trading range of Bitcoin just in the last few years... is not evidence of a new money aborning. It tracks the frolicking of Wall Street punters enabled by cheap carry-trade funding and emboldened by the Fed Put under risk asset markets generally. That is to say, the Fed’s unremitting corruption of the dollar and the Wall Street trading venues has generated an endless search for new wagering opportunities. Not surprisingly, therefore, Wall Street quickly turned crypto-currencies into yet another “asset class”, which is now being aggressively traded by chart-monkeys and algorithms based on factors that are purely intrinsic to the vibrations of the electronic trading pits. Accordingly, the market cap of Bitcoin currently stands at $1.347 trillion and the 2,400 outstanding cryptos as a group are valued at $2.45 trillion. Yet all of this “value” has been generated without even the bother of price discovery on the appropriate cap rates for non-existent earnings, dividends, other returns on capital, or even at least some evidence of value-added in main street commerce. That is to say, hemmed in by Federal cops and tax collectors and dominated by Wall Street speculators, these virtuous candidates for badly needed non-state money have metastasized into gambling chips, mainly owned by the 1% and their wanna be imitators among the homegamers. Meanwhile, with cryptos cordoned off in the gambling pits, this variation of Gresham’s Law works its will. By driving out good money from daily commerce, the central bankers ensure that depreciating dollars remain the spending medium of the main street economy.

President Trump spent years disparaging crypto currencies; he even appointed anti-crypto proselytizer Steve Mnuchin to head the Treasury Department. Then, in early 2024 – a presidential election year – Trump suddenly pulled a 180 and began to extol the virtues of crypto. While Ix.com/i/web/status/1… pic.x.com/VP9ZVmyJdVhat he says, I worry that without a deep understanding of the issue, he won’t have the mettle to stand up to the Wall Street bankers and Washington bureaucrats he’s so quickly caved to in the past.

Bitcoin Magazine asked me about Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and I shared my primary concern: that the Fed’s proposed digital cash could be used as an instrument of control — similar to China’s oppressive social credit system — rather than as a tool of empowerment. pic.x.com/qXzrpjmdy7

We are challenging a draconian CA law restricting crypto transactions to $1,000. First victim: immigrants, who use crypto for remittances. Second victim: America's tech leadership. Third victim: the basic freedom to transact. Please support us, BAC + others in reversing this law. Learn more here: dfpi.ca.gov/wp-content/upl…

Cryptocurrency is the off-ramp for our addiction to the Federal Reserve. It’s the best hedge against inflation. And it takes control away from the government and from the monopolistic banking system, which uses money printing to shift wealth upward to the oligarchy of billionaires while impoverishing regular Americans. If you agree that crypto equals freedom, help me advance that vision as President. DONATE NOW ➡️ https://t.co/iAB8LpbDge

This kind of thing partly explains the appeal of Bitcoin. Our freedom to transact and save should not be at the mercy of political enforcers. No payment platform should be allowed to discriminate against people for exercising their right to free speech.

As president, I will make sure that your right to use and hold Bitcoin is inviolable. Bitcoin is not only a bulwark against totalitarianism and the manipulation of our money supply, it points the way toward a future in which government institutions are more transparent and more democratic.
