Decentral Lens: The Weekly Bitcoin & Crypto News You Need to Know | 7/17/24

Decentral Lens

We start off this week's episode dissecting the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, noting it's immediate impact on the Presidential race as well as the policy and crypto related implications of his seemingly eminent re-election. We note that JD Vance is pro crypto and is a known holder of Bitcoin as well as his support of decentralized AI. We then touch on the recent report detailing the significant uptick in crypto related lobbying spending as well as Ripple's recent donation to John Deaton's campaign to replace Elizabeth Warren.
Next we discuss the market activity and point out that the recent ETF inflows appear to have off-set Germany's dumping of Bitcoin. We then move on to the latest news tied to Mt Gox, noting that this may represent a buying opportunity. The notion of major companies moving their cash holdings to Bitcoin and how that could be a great idea for companies and realize that if that becomes a trend, it would have huge price impact to the upside. We discuss that there appears to be a normalization and acceptance of Bitcoin and "digital assets" coming from traditional finance and businesses across the world. BlackRock's recent earnings report and Larry Fink's CNBC interview is also factored into this normalization of Bitcoin and crypto in general.
To further the point that we are experiencing a seismic shift in crypto acceptance, we note that the City of Santa Monica voted to open a Bitcoin office, based on El Salvador's pioneering Bitcoin program and the fact that Russia is reviewing a plan to offer crypto asssets on their major stock exchanges. And to wrap up the show we breakdown Craig Wright's latest legal battle and point out the disclaimer of him not being Satoshi Nakamoto is just fun to see.
