A summary of Bitcoin for America

Today was the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI), a Think Tank, the summit “Bitcoin for America” ​​in Washington, DC, local Think Tank.

The event occurred in the course of President Trump’s signing of an Executive Order (EO) to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve (SBR), and the White House organized its first crypto summit.

One would have expected Jingoist overtones from an event with such a title. However, many of the speakers admitted that Bitcoin is something that benefits the whole world and that the USA is partly available for this reason.

David Zell, director of BPI, stated the tone for the event in his opening speeches.

“Our goal for today is to continue this process, to help people understand how Bitcoin benefits America – and wrote the world capitalized,” he said.

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) followed Zell, a long-time Bitcoin lawyer who ensured that it is only natural to set the pace for America when it comes to the acceptance of Bitcoin.

“This is really freedom money,” said Senator Lummis. “And America should lead when it comes to freedom.”

Michael Saylor: Bitcoin and American digital dominance

Michael Saylor, Chairman of Strategy Executive, agreed to the senator and the case did the case why the United States should lead in this arena.

“I am here today to show you how the strategic Bitcoin reserve in the 21st century is a strategy for the digital supremacy of the United States,” he began.

He continued for Bitcoin as a digital property and claimed that the United States should acquire as much of it as possible so that they can also “rent and finance” this property.

He also found that trillion dollars will flow over the Bitcoin network, which is another reason why the United States should prioritize the acquisition of its share in the network.

In addition, he claimed that Bitcoin embodies American values ​​and that it is the next best to live in the USA

“Anyone who lives in Asia in Africa would move to the United States if they could,” said Saylor.

“You would move your money to the USA if you could. You want the currency of the United States that want the security of the United States. They want the values ​​of the USA, but they cannot have them, ”he added.

“The second best that you can have is to bring your money to the Bitcoin network that has all the values, protection and security of the USA.”

Vivek Ramaswamy: The long -term return from Bitcoin is the new hurdle rate with high risk

The governor candidate of Ohio and the American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy followed Saylor and presented the application that the return of the return when holding Bitcoin is a high risk of the new hurdle rate.

He put the stage for this claim by making the case that we return to an “era of scarce capital”. He announced that this will be the reversal of the past 15 years in which the Fed has printed money A lotSimilar to a cocaine dealer who spent cocaine for hungry users, as he put it.

He explained that institutions have to look at the question again: “What are my chance costs for capital?” And you have to define a hurdle rate for both investments with a low and high risk.

Ramaswamy argued that the hurdle rate for investing with low risk was the 10-year-old US finance ministry, while the hurdle rate for an investment with high risk will be the Bitcoin return over a period of 10 to 15 years.

He then ended his lecture by pointing out how the American ethos and Bitcoin ethos overlap, and that Bitcoin like the American flag is a symbol of hope.

“I think Bitcoin and what it represents, more than a financial asset, also helps to fill this hunger for a symbol, a memory of what American size was,” said Ramaswamy. “And I think it makes it an even more suitable capital in the national context to fill our national strategic reserve.”

Matthew Pines: Bitcoin pays the world to SBR EO

Matthew Pines, Executive Director of BPI, pointed out that Bitcoin is the focus of two reasons in the eyes of the world leaders.

The first, he claimed, was that the US debt markets have become increasingly fragile, which caused the global managers to invest in a global reserve in addition to the US state bonds.

The second reason is that SBR EO clearly explained by President Trump that the United States regarded Bitcoin as “digital gold” and that it will only be a matter of time until other leaders consider it the same.

“The executive order last Thursday landed on the desk of every great president, the central bank [chair] And finance minister of the world, ”said Pines.

“There are now discussions about how this can be interpreted. What does that mean for the relationship of your own country to Bitcoin? The governments do not move too quickly, but if they do it, they move in size and can use capital billion dollars in capital that can have geopolitical effects, ”he added.

“And I think we are at this turning point where the geopolitical aspects of Bitcoin are extremely important and shape the next few years of the future of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin race is now switched on and the ball is in our place to maintain our advantage. “

Congressman Nick Begich again introduces the Bitcoin Act

After Pines had completed his lecture, he introduced Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) on the stage where the congress member made a great announcement.

“Today I will announce the Bitcoin Act of 2025 in the House of the United States,” said Rep. Begich.

The legislative template, which is an updated version of the Senator Lummis, proposed last year, suggests that the United States acquired 1 million Bitcoin (without costs for taxpayers) and protect the right of US citizens on self-sufficiency to its Bitcoin.

“[The bill] expressly protects the rights of individuals to own Bitcoin freely, hold and act with them, ”said Rep. Begich. “It recognizes self -image as a fundamental right.”

Congress member Ro Khanna: Democrats should support Bitcoin

After a short lecture by Zack Shapiro, head of politics at BPI, why US states should keep Bitcoin in their reserves, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) made the case why Democrats should accept Bitcoin.

“Bitcoin should be non -partisan,” said Rep. Khanna, the only democratic politician who speaks at the event.

“Now people will be able to get Bitcoin. This is transforming for so many people all over the world, and therefore the Democratic Party should accept this that can create financial strengthening for humans not only in the United States, but around the world, ”he added.

Jack Mallers: Bitcoin is a return to American values

After a handful of conversations and panels such as Nick Neuman, CEO of Casa, the CEO of Newmarket Capital, Andrew Hohns, and the Christian CSO -Catalini from Lightspark, Streik CEO Jack Mallers entered the stage as the last spokesman for the summit.

In his lecture entitled “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: The American Monetary Revolution”, painters made the foundation of the SBR “a return to American values ​​- including life, freedom and property”.

“The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Executive Order and the Bitcoin Act proposed by Senator Lummis are the most important economic change and announcement and the only positive economic announcement that has come from the capital of this nation in the past 100 years,” said painters.

He continued that American economic policy worked against the principles on which the country was founded, and the Executive Order 6102 (gold confiscation under President Franklin D. Roosevelt 1933), the Nixon shock (President Nixon’s Depegging the Us -in Gold in 1971) and the 2008 bank rescue as evidence for 2008.

However, it ended with a high note.

“[This is a] The decisive moment in American history and a turning point in economic policy for this country, ”said Mallers. “The history of mankind is [people] A better world technical – this is America, that is Bitcoin. “
