excited for the mastodon rise
Amanda MooreBitcoin 2025 starts tomorrow, and the line up is full of Republicans.
The Bitcoin Conference brings together JD Vance, Eric Trump, Don Jr, Vivek Ramaswamy, Cynthia Lummis, Jim Justice, Bill Hagerty, Byron Donalds, Marsha Blackburn, Tom Emmer, Bo Hines, Chris LaCivita, Rosie Rios, Bryan Steil, Mike Benz, Chris Pavlovski, Ian Carroll, and Justin Sun.
Anyway I am here and will be covering the conference (and related things -- I finally get to see Eric Adams!!! At a Maggianos!!!). There are like 5 different stories I'm chasing here, so expect Substack, outlets, social media posts, and video clips.
Oh, and Coinbase CEO Faryar Shirzad, whose exchange just suffered a massive data breach after low paid foreign contractors were bribed to hand over information, will be on panels with Donalds, LaCivita, Rios, Steil, and Jack.
Update: Justin Sun, who was under investigation for fraudulent market manipulation until he started buying $TRUMP, has been added to a panel titled Building the Future Financial Products of America.
SouprMatt@noturtlesoup17 I severely underestimated how politicized crypto had become!
It makes sense. MAGA has brought the most gullible people in the nation together under one banner. No need for crypto scammers to go looking for new marks; it’s like shooting fish in a barrel.
Frank Skornia@noturtlesoup17 Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Legit_Spaghetti@noturtlesoup17 I'd happily pay an annual subscription fee for any publication that's willing and able to cover this crypto event in the style of Hunter S. Thompson's "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved."
