Vance: Bitcoin needs political support to stay protected

Is Bitcoin the New Political Pet? 🐾💰

In a dazzling display of political acumen, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, a man whose name sounds like a character from a dystopian novel, took to the stage at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in the glittering oasis of Las Vegas. He waxed poetic about Bitcoin’s strategic role in U.S. policy, cautioning the crypto community to remain politically engaged or risk being tossed aside like yesterday’s news. 📉

“Unless you guys get involved in politics, politics is going to ignore this industry,” Vance declared, as if he were the oracle of the blockchain. “What happens in the world of bureaucracy will affect even the most valuable technologies.” Ah, the sweet irony of a politician warning about bureaucracy! Who would have thought? 🤔

He credited the community’s growing activism with influencing national direction, encouraging attendees to “carry it forward to 2026 and beyond.” Because, you know, the future of Bitcoin depends on your ability to schmooze with senators. 🕴️

Bitcoin Reserve signals deeper investment in crypto

Vance also shone a spotlight on the strategic role Bitcoin could play in national policy, citing the launch of a government-backed Bitcoin Reserve under President Donald Trump. Yes, you heard that right—government-backed Bitcoin! What a time to be alive! 🎉

“Bitcoin is owned by about 50 million Americans,” he proclaimed, as if he were announcing the latest blockbuster movie. “We want to start to put in motion the strategic importance of Bitcoin for the United States government.” Because nothing says “strategic importance” like a digital currency that can be lost in a cyber black hole. 💻

Pointing to China’s anti-Bitcoin stance, Vance argued that the U.S. should take the opposite approach, stating:

“If the Communist Republic of China is leaning away from Bitcoin, then maybe the United States ought to be leaning into Bitcoin.” A bold strategy, Cotton! Let’s see if it pays off! 😏
