In a development that can only be described as the collision of Silicon Valley and a particularly riotous night at the Stag’s Head, Conor McGregor—UFC’s reigning sultan of self-confidence and, apparently, an amateur economist—finds himself wading chest-deep (nay, neck-deep!) in the seductive waters of cryptocurrency. His latest campaign? Convincing Ireland to stash away Bitcoin in what he lovingly dubs a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Picture Ireland, that little emerald isle of poets and publicans, arriving late—a little flustered—to the grand digital casino.
McGregor Rubs Shoulders With Bukele’s Bitcoin Dream
Following his robust Twitter soliloquy on Bitcoin’s merits, McGregor is jetting off to El Salvador—a country most Irish politicians couldn’t find on a map after three pints—to confer with President Nayib Bukele, the man who made Bitcoin legal tender and has since been on first-name terms with an exasperated IMF. Max Keiser, never a man to resist a dramatic flourish, boomed on X that this would be the event of the Bitcoin Nation State Summit, with McGregor and Bukele discussing Ireland’s own tilt at becoming a techno-Shangri-La.
“The nation state Saylor play can be rolled out in Ireland,” thundered Keiser, perhaps while wearing a tinfoil hat. “This would be TOPIC No.1 at the Bitcoin Nation State Summit between President Bukele and Conor McGregor.”
McGregor, not content with merely knocking people senseless for a living, now campaigns for public policy. His stated aim: establish a BTC reserve that would “give power back to the people.” Presumably just after he punches it out of them first. Bukele, meanwhile, ignores IMF handwringing and merrily purchases one Bitcoin per diurnal cycle, assured that financial orthodoxy is passé.
Crypto: Not Just for Beating Up Blockchains
When not plotting martial or fiscal revolution, McGregor now muses on the wider virtues of crypto. He’s taken a shine to the “transparent and trustless applications” of blockchain—perhaps dreaming of a day when Dáil Éireann is run as rigorously as a decentralized finance protocol, or at the very least, a dogecoin subreddit.
“I can see lots of transparent and trustless applications within crypto,” McGregor declared, as if one of Plato’s heavier dialogues after a few whiskeys. “And I cand see an immutable people’s money with Bitcoin.”
Debate rages on, from Twitter’s libertarian cryptomaniacs to the oddly passionate Cardano enthusiasts, regarding whether McGregor shall settle for Bitcoin, dabble in a diversified crypto trove, or simply start the first government-run memecoin called “Lucky Punch.” Charles Hoskinson of Cardano has attempted to broker a meeting, but nothing concrete has emerged—possibly distracted by more pressing matters, like utopian blockchains or choosing hats.
Cryptic whispers suggest an impending Irish Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, possibly nudged along by a shopping basket of other cryptocurrencies. One thing is certain: McGregor’s own attempt at a memecoin collapsed with all the dignity of a St. Patrick’s Day parade after closing time. Still, with Bitcoin clawing skyward, our fighting statesman isn’t done shadowboxing with financial convention.☘️🥊🚀
