Trump nominates Stephen Miran as Council of Economic Advisors chairman

As a seasoned researcher with a knack for deciphering the nuances of politics and finance, I find myself intrigued by the recent appointments within Donald Trump’s second administration. With Stephen Miran, Paul Atkins, and David Sacks all being pro-crypto and pro-innovation figures, it seems that the incoming Trump Administration is gearing up to embrace digital assets and technological advancements in a way that could reshape our economic landscape.

The newly elected President Trump has chosen economist and previous advisor, Stephen Miran, for the position of chairperson at the Council of Economic Advisers. In this role, he will provide advice to the Executive Branch regarding economic policies and strategies.

Previously, Miran held the position of a senior economic policy advisor within the U.S. Treasury Department during the initial Trump administration. In a recent installment of “The Bitcoin Layer” podcast, he expressed his viewpoint that the U.S. should prioritize policies that foster innovation and shared this perspective with the podcast host.

“I think that Financial deregulation is going to be a powerful part of that. I think that crypto has a big role potentially to play in innovation and ushering in another Trump Administration economic boom.”

In the crypto world, there was widespread approval upon hearing that Miran had been nominated, viewing it as a beneficial move for the cryptocurrency sector. This is because Donald Trump has been consistently choosing officials who are supportive of cryptocurrencies and technological advancements for his administration.

On December 4, 2024, Donald Trump chose Paul Atkins to succeed Gary Gensler as the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The newly elected President pointed to Atkins’ past position as a Securities and Exchange Commission commissioner from 2002 to 2008, as well as his knowledge in digital assets gained through his role as co-chairman of the Digital Chamber’s Token Alliance, as the basis for his nomination.

On December 6th, Trump announced the nomination of David Sacks as the head policy advisor for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cryptocurrency (digital assets). Sacks is a strong supporter of cryptocurrencies and has previously held the position of Chief Operating Officer at PayPal.

On Anthony Pompliano’s insightful podcast, I shared my perspective that Bitcoin, with its impartial and distributed character, has the potential to decouple money from the state.

Analysts and commentators are speculating that Bitcoin could reach seven figures in value due to Trump’s supportive crypto appointments and the possibility of a Bitcoin strategic reserve being established.

Cathie Wood, the founder of investment firm Ark Invest, anticipates that Bitcoin could reach a value of one million dollars by the year 2030, given the supportive cryptocurrency policies expected from the forthcoming Trump administration.

Eric Trump, son of the incoming president, has stated that the value of a single Bitcoin could reach an astounding $1 million, attributable to its limited supply.
