Deputado canadense pede aos cidadãos que estudem Bitcoin
- Joel Lightbound admitiu que possui Bitcoin e incentivou as pessoas a estudar e compreender o ativo.
- Lightbound highlighted Bitcoin’s importance in serving the underbanked and those in oppressive regimes.
- Gary Gensler alertou na terça-feira as empresas de criptografia para começarem a tratar seus usuários em conformidade com as leis de valores mobiliários.
The crypto community marked the 15th anniversary of the release of the Bitcoin whitepaper on Tuesday, October 31st. Interestingly, Canadian Member of Parliament (MP) Joël Lightbound was full of praise for Bitcoin and its current role in the financial landscape. Lightbound thanked Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin’s anonymous creator, and encouraged people to learn more about the cryptocurrency.
Ao falar no plenário do parlamento, Lightbound revelou que ele possui pessoalmente o Bitcoin, mas não incentivará outros a comprá-lo. As figuras políticas raramente falam abertamente sobre as suas escolhas financeiras pessoais.
No entanto, Lightbound mostrou transparência ao revelar que é dono do BTC. Seus comentários enfatizam como as criptomoedas estão ganhando aceitação popular, especialmente em setores que têm sido historicamente conservadores.
Lightbound’s comments on Bitcoin were not focused on the asset’s potential as an investment tool. Rather, Lightbound stressed the importance of studying and understanding the asset. He explained that Bitcoin emerged during the world financial crisis, presenting itself as a symbol of resiliency and optimism. However, it has evolved over time from a simple idea on white paper to a formidable tool that helps the underbanked and offers financial safety to anyone caught up in repressive political situations.
Ele disse em seu discurso:
O Bitcoin ajudou milhares de famílias a evitar a tragédia da desvalorização da moeda. Representa o ideal verdadeiramente progressista. Então, hoje, deixe-me agradecer a Satoshi Nakamoto, seja ele quem for, e desejar um feliz 15º aniversário ao white paper do Bitcoin.
Lightbound também citou duas citações notáveis de Jack Dorsey, ex-CEO do Twitter e entusiasta da criptografia, e do presidente da SEC, Gary Gensler. Gensler tem tornar-se an anti-crypto advocate over the last few years. However, Lightbound cited his old remarks from 2019 before Gensler became the SEC’s chair.
At the time, Gensler wrote that Bitcoin has the potential to bring about change “either directly or indirectly as a catalyst.“ He also noted that “the potential to lower verification and networking costs is worth pursuing, particularly to lower economic rents and data privacy costs and promote economic inclusion.“
Interestingly, Gensler wished Bitcoin’s white paper a happy 15th anniversary in a publicar on X. The SEC chair wrote, “Happy 15th anniversary to Satoshi’s famous white paper that started crypto.”
Gensler also seized the moment to warn crypto firms that are “tricking investors should start treating them to compliance with the securities laws.”
Cobri algumas histórias interessantes em minha carreira como jornalista e acho as histórias relacionadas ao blockchain muito intrigantes. Acredito que a Web3 vai mudar o mundo e quero que todos façam parte dele.
